This document outlines a classroom project to create a reading guide to improve reading competence among 6th grade students at Mercedes Abrego's School. It identifies low reading scores on national tests as a problem and sets an objective to teach reading skills. A literature review discusses principles of reading instruction. Research methods include student surveys to identify weaknesses, teacher interviews, and developing activities for a reading guide. Data collection found most students rated their reading a 1 or 2 on a scale, and resources created include surveys, guides, and websites with materials. The goal is to help 6th graders improve their reading ability.
