Research Summary

The Peekapak website lists several case studies with generally positive results. One peer-reviewed article examining the efficacy of Peekapak on the literacy, cognitive ability, and SEL performance of a sample of 1,726 elementary-aged students was found. In this study, researchers found no statistically significant differences in TS GOLD literacy, cognitive ability, and SEL scores between the treatment and control groups at the end of the intervention period. Due to the limited peer-reviewed evidence for Peekapak, there is insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of this program at this time.
