=__The plan__= We got 4 randomly selected __students__ from one of our teachers in our team area(team7-5). To test our question we had the students read two articles(one out loud and one silent) while we timed them. We got an additional 4 students and tested them on the articles with the times we got from our other test subjects. The test consisted of 3 comprehension questions.

__ The Variables __ __ Manipulated- __ Reading aloud     __Responding Variable__- The Comprehension __ Controlled Varibles(s)- __ The People reading the same paragraphs, the same test and the time given to read for the questions. __ Reccomendations: __ __For Teachers:__ Our research shows that reading out loud increases comprehension. In our __school__ our teachers sometimes say "Read to yourself or out loud to a partner." I think that teachers should make every student read out loud so every student can get a better comprehension of the story or article. Although reading out loud seems so good it does take almost twice the amount of time as reading silently. Unless the teacher does not have a lot of time for the students to read then always make the students read aloud. =For Students:= Because of our research we have some recomendations for students who need help in reading. I reccomend that students whenever reading should read out loud, I think this because reading out loud increases comprehension. =__Hypothesis__= As a team we thought that reading aloud would help that the reading aloud would take longer. What we had also thought is since it took longer to read aloud we thought that tthe comprehension would be greater. After the test we figured out that we had actually gotten both details right.

__ Conclusion __ Something that we have really brought into this expierement is the whole idea of teachers. How??? When we are about to read something from a text book or just a "book" with a partner, the __teacher__ will usually say ,"You can read silently or aloud." From this they need to now think about the results we have gotten. Since reading outloud actually helped during test, teachers need to put this into thought before they actually say those selected words. Results
