June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Introductio
n
This is an action research of using the Story Jumper as an
e-book to improve the reading comprehension among 4
year old pupils in one of the primary schools in Malaysia.
The standart curriculum system for primary schools has
been implemented since 2011.
The goal of the curriculum is to expose pupils to higher
order thinking skills as well as to produce pupils with high
intelligence, competence and problem-solving skills.
It also emphasizes 21st century skills such as engaging
students in the curriculum while the teachers act as a
facilitator.
4. Research
Gap
Based on the pastTeaching experiences as a teacher trainee,
the author identifies some problems with reading
comprehension.
The author noticed that some of the pupils were quiet during
the classes, they could not answer even the simplest reading
comprehension questions.
Some of the did not know how to complete the tasks given by
the teacher.
They often asked the meanings of the difficult words in
reading texts, which enabled the author to realize that pupils
could not comprehend the text sufficiently.
The author resorted a strategy which was by using the e-
books to help and improve pupils’ reading comprehension.
5. Research
Questions
Two research questions were formulated
for this study:
• How does e-book strategy improve the
pupils reading comprehension?
• How does e-book strategy motivate the
pupils in learning?

skills were weak.
Their levels of
proficiency were
from low to
intermediate
level.
9. Instrument
s
Three different instruments were
applied for data collection
procedures.
These were pre/post tests, pupils’
work and reflective journal.
To increase validity and reliability,
data triangulation method was
applied in the action research.
All the instruments have been
checked and verified by the experts
(teacher trainers)
10. Data Collection and Analysis
The researcher
designed the e-book
using the software from
Story Jumper as it could
be accessed for free.
The pupils also
accessed the platform
outside the classroom.
A pre-test and post-test
was implemented
before and after the
treatment.
11. ■ 1st week of the implementation

15. Conclusion
■ How does e-book strategy improve
the pupils in reading comprehension?
There has been a statistically
significant mean difference between the
mean scores of pre/post test.
Sts could write more correct
answers to the worksheet when
compared to the 1st week.
E-book strategy was definitely
helpful for increasing reading
comprehension.
Computer assisted multimedia can
improve pupils’ learning and retention.
16. Implications
■ How does e-book strategy motivate
the pupils in learning?
Pupils were engaging and active.
The strategy was encouraging.
E-books can have a very positive
impact on students’ interest.
Students attended actively and
discussed reading with their friends.
17. Suggestions for Further Research
To add the element of game as well as pictures and graphics to
the e-book strategy may enhance the motivation of pupils.
The e-book can be used as a remedial tool for pupils with
learning disabilities.
The contents in the e-book can be changed according to the
pupils interests.
The teacher may alter the words in the e-book and match
them with the pupil’s level.
