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.
q1 i? The MAP Reading Fluency theory of action posits hypothesized mechanisms of change and intermediate goals leading to the overarching goal of helping all students read fluently with comprehension. → Mary Ann Simpson 2021
