Teacher Research Topic

How to best support struggling readers in my third grade classroom. My goals for my teacher research project are to become comfortable and knowledgeable with strategies to help lower level readers as well as become very familiar with data sources and how to use them. I picked this topic because I think that this is something that I will see in most all of my classrooms.
