Press, The (Albemarle, NC), 30 Sept. 2017. EBSCOhost,

Beamon writes about a newly-created reading program at an elementary school and interviews
teachers and faculty that help younger students improve their reading skills. Beamon’s article
interviews teachers who believe that a good environment is essential for reading and that
students’ reading scores increase the more attention they get in the classroom. Beamon’s article
was published on September 30th, 2017 in the Stanly News & Press (NC). From this article, I
can use direct quotes like “the program was primarily created to improve reading comprehension
test scores, it has also boosted the school in many more ways” to prove that being able to read at
a young age is necessary for students and will help them in many ways. This is a secondary
source compiled from academic research articles.

Neal uses data and research found by the Oklahoma State Department of Health and the
Journal of Social Science and Medicine to explain the health benefits of reading. Neal goes on to
show that reading actual chapter books have two main benefits: engaging the mind and
promoting the development of emotional intelligence. Neal wrote this article and published it in
the Enid News & Eagle (OK) on April 16th, 2020. Throughout the article, Neal uses data from
research to justify that reading is beneficial and I can also use quotes from his article to support
my essay. This is a secondary source from peer reviewed research studies.
