Research & Evaluation
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.
