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.

Evidence¶
Grønli 2024¶
Grønli, K. M., Walgermo, B. R., McTigue, E. M., & Uppstad, P. H. (2024). Teachers' Feedback on Oral Reading: A Critical Review of its Effects and the use of Theory in Research. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09957-z
q2 · i? · review · r2
The review's vote-counting synthesis for the fluency domain, where four studies of goal setting added to performance feedback during oral reading showed a consistent positive direction of effect. No effect magnitudes are reported because the review used effect-direction vote counting rather than meta-analysis.
"Goal setting combined with performance feedback showed a positive effect on fluency (Conte & Hintze, 2000; Eckert et al., 2000, 2002; Mason et al., 2016)."
