Evidence¶

Lord et al. 2017¶

Pippa Lord, Adam Rabiasz, Palak Roy, Jennie Harland, Ben Styles, Katherine Fowler. (2017). Evidence-based literacy support: the 'Literacy Octopus' trial — Evaluation report and executive summary. Education Endowment Foundation. http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN84508118

q4 · i? · causal · r3

Pre-specified subgroup analysis on the primary outcome for pupils who have ever received free school meals, within the same 823-school multi-arm RCT. Table 1 reports everFSM effect sizes from -0.07 to 0.05, with the everFSM model containing results from 3,094 control group pupils.

"This was also true when considering only pupils who have ever been eligible for free school meals (FSM )."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Socioeconomic Status — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group

Related Claims¶

• Passive dissemination showed no evidence of improving literacy attainment for the subgroup of pupils who have ever been eligible for free school meals — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• The coaching programme had a similar effect for FSM-eligible pupils as for their peers — reports the opposite
• Nine light-touch dissemination interventions had no impact on pupils' Key Stage 2 English attainment in a large school-level RCT — a broader claim this one bears on
