Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Although effects are positive across outcomes, effect sizes differed dramatically across constrained skills, unconstrained skills, reading comprehension, and writing proficiency. → Rebecca D. Silverman 2025

Rebecca D. Silverman, Kristin Keane, Elena Hammond, S. Khanna. (2025). The Effects of Educational Technology Interventions on Literacy in Elementary School: A Meta-Analysis. Review of Educational Research, 95(5), 972-1012. https://doi.org/10.3102/00346543241261073
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
Across the meta-analysis's four literacy outcomes, the article reports positive effects but states that "effect sizes differed dramatically across outcomes"; no per-outcome effect sizes are printed in the available text.
"Findings indicate positive effects of educational technology interventions on constrained skills, unconstrained skills, reading comprehension, and writing proficiency though effect sizes differed dramatically across outcomes."
