q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1

WWC synthesis of two randomized controlled trials (Vaughn, Cirino, et al., 2006; Vaughn, Mathes, et al., 2006) totaling more than 130 first-grade English language learners in four Texas schools. The report states the program "was found to have potentially positive effects on reading achievement"; no effect size is printed in this summary statement.

"Enhanced Proactive Reading was found to have potentially positive effects on reading achievement and no discernible effects on English language development."
