Reading Park Logic Model Development Study

This study is a technical report prepared for DreamBox Learning by Discovery Education, detailing the development of a logic model for Reading Park. The logic model was designed by LearnPlatform to meet Level IV requirements under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which demonstrates a rationale for educational interventions. The report outlines the components of the logic model, including inputs, participants, activities, outputs, and outcomes, and emphasizes the importance of a structured approach to reading instruction. It describes how Reading Park aims to enhance foundational reading skills among K-2 students through explicit instruction and practice in key areas such as phonological awareness, phonics, and vocabulary development. The study also highlights the necessity of formative assessments to tailor instruction to individual student needs. Furthermore, it discusses the significance of engaging instructional strategies that promote both motivation and achievement in reading, particularly in the context of the challenges faced by educators post-COVID-19.
