Student Literacy Survey

In order to gather information about the students in my classroom, I conducted a short survey to collect information about their attitudes toward literacy and their preferred learning styles. I have provided the questions that I asked the students, as well was the average score of answers given. Many of the averages suggest neutral feelings about the statements, however I also have individual data that I have recorded and can look back on throughout the year. Many of the averages were similar between the classes for each of the statements, which helps me to understand the overall group and how I can structure my lessons to accomodate for their preferences and knowledge.
