Research & Evaluation
Research Summary
Research articles for the former Burst: Reading program showed small to no discernable effects on literacy achievement in students receiving the intervention. A literature review for the current mCLASS program found no peer-reviewed articles focusing solely on this intervention. Consequently, there is insufficient evidence to support this program's efficacy at this time.
