Initial questions
My kindergarten class includes 15
children, 10 boys and 5 girls. Six of the
children are identified as having special
needs, including developmental
delays and difficulties with language
processing. Two of the six students
are on the high-functioning end of the
autism spectrum. I designed an investigation
to answer three questions:
1. Do these kindergartners enjoy reading
nonfiction and informational text?
2. Do they choose to read options
from that genre on their own?
3. Do both girls and boys make the
same types of book choices?
