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? Homework support had the highest frequency count value (FV=12) for reading outcomes among common practice elements in effective OSTA interventions. → Engell 2020
q3 i? All 11 interventions that trained parents in providing homework support to their children were classified as effective. → Engell 2020

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Systematic review synthesis of 30 effective and six ineffective OSTA interventions using vote-counting frequency values. The review reports "Homework support had the highest FV with 12 for reading"; no standardized effect sizes were calculated.
"Homework support had the highest FV with 12 for reading, followed by training in parental school involvement at home and positive reinforcement with FVs of 10."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Structured tutoring was the most common practice element but was ineffective in about 25% of studies using it, illustrating popularity bias in common elements reviews
- The most common combination in effective OSTA interventions was professionals training caregivers in parental school involvement at home and homework support combined with positive reinforcement — related
- Quality monitoring was the most common implementation element and regular support to the intervention receiver the most common process element in effective OSTA interventions — related
- Training in parental school involvement at home, positive reinforcement, psychoeducation, and use of explicit goals showed positive frequency values across reading, math, and GPA outcomes — related
