The method used was a survey designed by the researcher and distributed to the faculty
of the students in grades three, four and five. The study found an increase in Reading scores as
measured by the WKCE. The most significant change originated in students on the lower end of
the continuum. This can be attributed to the current understanding that students scoring
proficient or advanced had brains that were more efficient at the task of evaluating and analyzing
text; therefore, the brains of these students did not require the extra enrichment provided by
brain-based learning; however, for students at the lower end ofthe continuum, brain-based
learning necessitated an increase in scores. There was positive correlation between brain-based
learning strategies and expected student achievement for these students. The researcher
recommends the research continue for two or more years to determine if the positive correlation
continues
