I don't know if this will help you because it was done as an enrichment model. Here is the link:
http://www.gifted.uconn.edu/SEMR/ For those who do independent reading, the bookmarks are awesome! There is a suggested reading log. In my last district, we used this model during the year before I retired with two elementary schools--both schools had the poorest performing schools. By no means, though, were these schools in jeopardy of not meeting AYP. Unfortunately, a new superintendent came in and the teachers were required to adopt and use a basal program. Therefore, I couldn't get any data because I retired. However, the students absolutely didn't perform any poorer; I just don't know if they did better. You might also look at Razinski's work, but I don't know if he has research.

I need some sources (preferably current research) I can print off regarding elementary age kids independently reading during reading. My principal extremely dislikes seeing kids just reading. Accountability is huge. Last year I had the kids journal to me . . that was very enlightening! I had no problems with that. Independent reading seems to be a dirty phrase. Please help .. and ... thank you!
