Project, Place, and Problem (3-P) based learning are approaches that many educators understand and implement, but there is room to use these techniques in new and increasingly effective ways. This pedagogy is commonly used to engage with students in curriculum areas such as science, social studies, art, and writing however to my knowledge, it is not utilized to build literacy foundational, language aquisition, and comprehension skills in early educational settings. The aim of this project is to discover teacher’s efforts in implementing and the barriers in this approach, gauge the effectiveness of the impact on learners, and utilize it to support their success in reading advancement. Focusing on 3-P instruction provides learners and teachers the opportunities to make reading authentic which they need to increase reading achievements for the student of the modern world. This project is an exploration of the teachers perspective, evaluation of effectiveness and technique, and implementation of the (3-P) instructional approach viewed through the lens of in person interviews for a documentary styled podcast.
