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? The magnitude of transfer effects on science content reading comprehension differed across near-, mid-, and far-transfer passages, which were defined by the inclusion and number of directly taught words. → Kim 2023

q3 · i? · causal · r?

In the cluster randomized trial's end-of-Grade-2 science comprehension assessment, passages were constructed along a transfer continuum; the article reports effects "varied by passage-item type" across near-, mid-, and far-transfer passages. No per-type effect sizes appear in the supplied text.

"Furthermore, we found transfer effects on science content reading comprehension that varied by passage-item type (near-, mid-, and far-transfer passages determined by the inclusion and number of directly taught words in passages)."
