The terms used pertaining to my topic: sustained silent reading.

How did I locate refereed literature? I simply checked the peer-reviewed box.

Criteria? I made sure the articles had references, good author credentials, and applied methods.

Those articles that were omitted were typically those that were limited in scope. That is, they only included limited schools or respondents.

I did not follow any particular organizational formula when I did the review; it really did not matter in the context of my study.

One of the major hindrances of ding a literature review is the lack of experience and training. I do not yet have confidence in my skills and knowledge in this area. I think it would be helpful to examine the works of others who have successfully accomplished literature reviews. I am particularly interested in how to do them creatively (as Boote & Beile discuss).

Inform my area of study? I think Vygotsky's work will be helpful (that's why I joined the group). In addition, topics such as Zone of Proximal development, active engagement, and collaborative inquiry will be of use.

How does the literature relate?
