520 3    |a Purpose : This research study was designed and implemented to help increase students’ writing skills through an integrated language arts program. Method : A quasi-experimental action research design was used to assess the effectiveness of a researcher-developed innovative language arts program. A selected group of fifth grade students participated in the following activities: attended a series of reading and writing workshops; wrote to assigned and chosen prompts; responded to a variety of literature sources on a daily basis; published and shared their writings school-wide; and conferred regularly with the teacher, volunteers, and peers. The treatment was applied over a fourteen (14) week period. Major Findings : The experimental group was compared to an equivalent fifth grade control group who received standard writing instruction using a traditional methodology. Standardized pre and posttest measure were taken assessing narrative and expository writing skills. T-tests showed that the experimental group post test scores were significantly higher than the control group scores in all but one instance, suggesting the experimental methodology was more effective than the standard methodology for this age group. The objectives of the study were achieved.
