It is important to determine whether students' have the same motivations and learning ability when the lesson is removed from the multimedia framework. In the end, the student must be able to apply the lessons to reading a book. I researched the existing literature for gaps in knowledge to formulate these research questions. While claims for the educational benefits of Successmaker are positive, they remain largely untested. I looked for relevant articles on PubMed and Medline for background knowledge on past studies and structured my research questions in a way that I felt would produce plain evidence for the effectiveness of the Successmaker Reading Program.
Difficulties encountered in formulating these research questions included conflicting background information. Some studies claimed that Successmaker was highly effective while others showed little difference in success outcomes when compared to traditional teaching approaches. A lack in recent studies on the Successmaker Reading Program also complicated the formulation of relevant research questions because it was unclear whether the assumptions and results from studies performed ten years ago still apply...
Another complication arose from going through the imaginative process of how to objectively test each of these research questions and the possibility of obtaining clear and precise answers to the questions.

It is anticipated that there may be diminishing returns during the sessions where students will show sign of fatigue. Games, token system of food and video games will be used to reinforce the willingness of the participants to continue participating in the program. (Goodloe, Mentavlos & Rose-Baele,2004). After the six-week learning program using the SuccessMaker, students will be evaluated on their reading skills, and the evaluation will be carried out
("Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data," 2011) The Weaknesses The weaknesses of using each method are limited mainly to their areas of focus. As far as qualitative research is concerned, the main drawback is that we are relying on the research of others. This can be problematic, because if researchers working on a particular project were swayed, the data from their findings could be subjective. In the case of quantitative method, the biggest
