Research Summary

A review of the literature revealed a field test conducted by the publisher, which showed that students receiving the curriculum experienced significantly different standardized reading test scores pre- and post-implementation; however, their gains were not compared to a control group. No peer-reviewed research was found. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support this program's efficacy at this time.
