//Data Collection Strategy and Tool://
==I am now beginning to narrow down my technological tool to assess reading comprehension. I have looked at a wide variety of tools, such as blogs, eBooks, interactive comic strips, and descriptive writing with videos. After looking at tools that we currently have at my school (that involve reading comprehension), I want to investigate and explore the effects of Lexia S.O.S. on students’ reading comprehension. I want to know if the Lexia S.O.S. games (a CAI) can help to improve students’ reading comprehension ability. Lexia is an assessment tool that I currently use at my school to assess phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension. It also comes with a variety of grade appropriate games. I will use the Lexia S.O.S. games with my second graders (they will be the experimental group). I will then compare their Lexia scores to the control group (a class who did not use Lexia S.O.S.). I can use the first session (for example: Fall Session) of the Lexia CRT (the assessment tool which comes as part of the program) as a pretest, then allow a specified time of using the Lexia S.O.S. games with students, and then use the next assessment period (Winter Session) as the posttest. This would allow me to see if the Lexia S.O.S. games helped to improve reading comprehension among students.==
