Potential Research Topic:

Students do not seem engaged during independent reading.

I plan to study the engagement of my kindergarten students

during independent reading time because I want to find
out if they are engaged and reading the whole time to show

how much they are practicing reading so that I may better

understand how to engage them further during this
time.

I wonder if there is a colloration between

student reading level and level of engagment.
