Abstract
Building student motivation and interest in the classroom can be challenging for teachers, but putting the students into groups with a tutor can help them. This study investigated the importance of Literacy LEAPS and the effect it had on the students learning. I was a tutor for a group of five students that were assigned based on their learning level. The lesson instructions are based on their STAR Reading test scores and applied in their group setting.
My analysis has shown that Literacy LEAPS has helped students’ confidence and motivation in the classroom through whole-group discussions and individual work. The majority of my group has improved their STAR Reading score. The improved scores range from 65 being the lowest and 137 being the highest. The school district should continue to use this program to help students learning growth.
