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.
q2 i? The percentage of students meeting the one-or-more-years normative growth criterion ranged from 42–87% in the most effective condition and 14–65% in the least effective modality. → Mary Beth Calhoon 2013

q2 · i? · review · r2
The editorial reports percentages of adolescent learners classified as gainers under Calhoon and Petscher's individual gain classification (less than one vs. one or more years of normative growth), quoting the printed ranges: "42–87 % of students in the most effective condition" versus 14–65% in the least effective modality.
"Across measures, 42–87 % of students in the most effective condition, and 14–65 % of students receiving the least effective modality, met the gain criterion."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Reading outcomes of struggling adolescent readers were strongly related to the instructional modality of a common reading program (Calhoon and Petscher) — a broader claim this one bears on
