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? Implementation fidelity across both semesters ranged from 84% to 100%, averaging 96.3%, despite tutors receiving only four 1-hour training sessions and no prior reading-instruction coursework. → Lindo 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Fidelity observations of 13.5% of tutoring sessions, twice each semester, by research assistants using observation forms covering corrective feedback, organization, script adherence, and praise. The article notes interrater reliability observations were not conducted because of limited resources.
"Fidelity of implementation over both semesters ranged from 84% to 100%, with the average being 96.3%."
