Purpose of the survey:
For Assignment #5, I decided to develop a survey on reading, with an objective that would identify preferred reading choices and possible indicators of reading issues. This information would assist in identifying the type of books that would be most beneficial when purchasing for the library. This type of a survey would be used for my school libraries and would be administered to students. For this assignment, I had adults complete the survey, so I would definitely be adding to this survey. I would include and opportunity for the students to give examples or titles of books they would like to have in the library. I would also have included ebooks as a reading option.
First Draft:
When I had a colleague look at my survey, the following comments were made:
#1 - I had to think about this for a moment, really consider what I thought makes me a good reader. To me that means that I can fluently read what is in front of me and comprehend the material. Is that what you meant by 'good' reader? I based my answer mostly on my ability to comprehend and use the Comprehension Strategies.
#2 - easy to comprehend and complete. I could recall my efforts with learning to read and I am sure they are accurate.
#3 - easy to comprehend and complete. I added personal opinions and experience such as a blog.
#4 - easy to comprehend and complete. All my choices were listed.
#5 - easy to comprehend and complete.
#6 - (does the word 'you' needs to be added to the question) I wondered if I could check more than one but realized I'd have to choose just one.
#7 - easy to comprehend and complete.
#8 - easy to comprehend and complete. I liked being able to explain myself.
Reading Survey 2
It was a very basic survey so I did not have to change too much. I simply changed the information that was suggested. I wanted to keep the language simple as students will need to understand each question. After the survey was taken by my participants, I did notice that one person added an option on #6 "What time of day do you read the most". She added a checked box with "all day". I would also consider including reading during playing video games, as I'm presuming that this is a high concentration for many kids,
