Abstract

Although this study had small sample size (N=15), it concludes that the ARAL Reading Program significantly enhances both numeracy and problem-solving skills. However, the unexpected negative correlation implies that improvement in numeracy does not necessarily translate to improved problem-solving skills. This suggests the need for more integrated instructional approaches that directly connect numeracy skills with problem-solving skills. It is also important to note that the outcomes may be influenced by other external or confounding variables like comprehension, thus, a call for another study.
