To help fill this void, we used two related three-factor mixed designs with Method (AR vs. Control), Gender, and either Grade Level(fourth vs. fifth) or Reading Ability (high vs. low) to explore AR's influence on the reading attitudes and self-

Qualitative techniques were employed to develop six case studies to understand better how preservice teachers framed their meanings. Cross-case analysis revealed that each preservice teacher's stance on meaning, while idiosyncratically based on experience, was tied to pedagogy in two distinct ways: (a) most of the participants placed an increasingly important role on the supervising teacher when considering reading di$culties and (b) they situated themselves as a teacher within that context. The "ndings suggest the importance of designing preservice education course work that is inquiry-oriented and o!ers opportunities for students to explore systematically their developing stances and self-constructed meanings about reading.

Based on the principles of Reading Recovery and Four Blocks literacy instruction, it provides supplementary reading instruction through the distinctive use of teaching staff. Over six years, it has resulted in sweeping changes in the way literacy instruction occurs as well as noteworthy increases in children's reading abilities. This article gives a brief history of the authors' work within the Anna Plan, explains each of the model's seven tenets, and describes the research base that drives it. The focal point of the article is the detailed description of the organization and components of the five-day framework used to augment classroom reading and writing instruction. Finally, the authors recount how the Anna Plan has been embraced by two elementary schools and offer some conclusions about what contributes to the success of whole-class support models for early literacy.

Thus, we used a multi-stage mixed analysis to examine 205 doctoral students' levels of reading ability, their perceptions of barriers that prevented them from reading empirical articles, and the relationship between these two sets of constructs. Approximately 10% of doctoral students attained reading ability scores that represented the lower percentiles of a normative sample of undergraduate students. A thematic analysis revealed 8 themes (subsumed by 3 meta-themes: Research Characteristics; Comprehension; Text Characteristics) that represented barriers to reading empirical articles and that predicted both perceived and actual reading ability. Combinations of these themes and meta-themes were related to both perceived reading ability and actual reading ability (reading comprehension, reading vocabulary). The implications of these and other findings are discussed and recommendations are provided for helping doctoral students successfully negotiate the path of emergent scholarship.
