LOGIC MODEL The 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) encourages districts and schools to adopt evidence-based programs with a well-specified logic model explaining how programs will likely improve outcomes. Figure 1 provides a conceptual model of R.E.A.L.'s design to facilitate engagement with literature and improve short-term and long-term outcomes. Specifically, this logic model outlines the resources needed (e.g., books, guides, mentors, and facilitators) to launch the R.E.A.L. program successfully. It documents the targeted activities (e.g., read-alouds with mentors and interactive activities) needed to generate the direct and tangible outputs that occur from the activities (e.g., a deeper understanding and appreciation for literacy for students). The outputs lead to short- and long-term outcomes (e.g., expanded home libraries and high attendance rates) that can also be used to define the expected results of a program as well as help determine the best variables to measure when evaluating program success.
