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.
q2 i? The study analyzed MAP reading achievement for 224 students with visual impairments in grades 3–10, in four states, over an eight-year time period. → Boroson 2017
