Related Claims¶

• EEF-funded interventions improved FSM pupils' literacy outcomes with a pooled effect size of 0.06, equivalent to about one month's progress — a broader claim this one bears on
• Improvements in attainment were not significantly moderated by English as an additional language, ethnicity, FSM Ever 6 status, or prior attainment — related
• The intervention had no statistically significant effect on spelling and grammar scores — reports the opposite
