Subclaims¶

q3 i? Condition did not demonstrate a statistically significant effect on posttest ORF when the analysis was repeated with the subset of students within the region of significance on pretest ORF. → Nathan H. Clemens 2019

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Follow-up analysis restricted to students in the low-fluency region of significance tested whether CCT improved fluency itself. No significant effect was found; the article also notes prior analyses found no significant main effects on ORF.

"We repeated this analysis with the subset of students that scored within the region of significance on pretest ORF. Condition did not demonstrate a statistically significant effect on posttest ORF, indicating no statistically significant effect of the CCT intervention specific to students' posttest reading fluency"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Reading and Language — outcome: instruction changes it
• Reading Fluency — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• The CCT intervention produced statistically significant main effects favoring CCT on reading comprehension (ES = 0.14), TOSREC (ES = 0.28), and taught vocabulary (ES = 0.43), but not on SWE or ORF — related
• Fluency interventions for older students show very small effects on rate and accuracy and virtually no effect on standardized comprehension — a broader claim this one bears on
• The CCT treatment effect on comprehension was statistically significant only for students with pretest ORF up to 0.20 SD above the sample mean (64.0% of the sample), and not for higher-fluency students — related
• Pretest oral reading fluency moderated the effects of the CCT intervention on reading comprehension, with greater benefits for students with lower pretest fluency — related
