This study's purpose was to provide Leap Pad text-to-speech support for beginning readers during independent reading to determine what impact such support had on students' enjoyment of reading, independent reading level, and engagement in reading and to determine the participants' attitudes toward the Leap Pads. For 4 weeks students in a kindergarten class used the Leap Pads 3 days a week for 15 minutes with additional daily voluntary opportunities available. Data measures consisted of pre/post intervention reading enjoyment surveys and Developmental Reading Assessments, reading engagement recording sheets, book votes, observations, participant interviews, and Leap Pad surveys. Results include a 32% increase in reading enjoyment, an increase in reading proficiency levels for 71% of the students, a 266% increase in reading engagement, and favorable teacher and student attitudes toward the Leap Pads, suggesting that Leap Pad text-to-speech support can be a beneficial addition to the reading curriculum during independent reading.
