Research & Evaluation
Research Summary
The evidence for this program is limited to one study, completed by the publisher. A strong effect size was found for students in grades 6-8 on the STAR Reading Assessment. There was no peer-reviewed research found. Consequently, there is insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of this program at this time.
