This approach allows for a comprehensive exploration of the impact of literature circles on student engagement in reading while capturing both numerical trends and nuanced insights. The findings of this research illuminate the transformative potential of literature circles as a pedagogical strategy that positively influenced students’ engagement and enthusiasm. The researcher leverages the insights gleaned from this study to design and implement literature circles that foster collaborative learning, engagement, and intrinsic motivation. In conclusion, this study underscores the value of literature circles as a tool for educators aiming to create compelling and motivating reading experiences.
