This paper describes the REAP (Reading, Enjoying, And Presenting) project, in which seventh-grade students enhance their reading ability and self-concept by preparing and presenting a reading performance at various child care and adult care facilities. The paper presents an illustration of what the research says about reading aloud; the completed application form for the Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Fellowship program; an additional description of the purpose, activities, and schedule of the project; the parental permission form; sample discussion questions; a booklist; and a newspaper article about the project.
