The study was conducted on 20 respondents from an international school in Selangor, using a quantitative research technique. Data were obtained using a questionnaire and the analysis report of the pre-test and post-test in reading proficiency before and after implementing the After-School Reading Intervention Project. The results showed that the students found the improvement project extremely practical and helpful in improving reading skills and proficiency. The After-School Reading Intervention Project significantly improved students' reading skills, especiallypronunciation, fluency, and expression. Students showed greater interest and confidence in reading post-intervention, aided by increased parental support and engaging materials. The reading workshops proved effective, and students and parents acknowledged the program's positive impact on literacy development. The implications for students and educational stakeholders, as well as future research suggestions, are highlighted. date: 2024 date_type: published publication: International Journal of Education and Training (InjET) volume: 10 number: 2 publisher: Universiti Putra Malaysia Press pagerange: 1-7 refereed: TRUE issn: e2462-2079 official_url: http://www.injet.upm.edu.my/index.php citation: Cross, Stephanie and Mohd Puad, Mohd Hazwan and Abdullah, Arnida and Bishen Singh, Gurcharan Singh (2024) Guiding literacy growth: A school leadership reading intervention project.
