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? Suggestive evidence indicates KIPP Pre-K may add a reading achievement benefit above and beyond attending KIPP elementary schools without Pre-K. → Knechtel 2017
