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 i2 Across six studies including phonological awareness activities, the effect size was 0.57, comparable to the NRP (2000) weighted average of 0.53. → José L. Arco-Tirado 2024

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r2

Outcome-specific synthesis of six studies using either a commercial program (Pallante & Kim, 2013) or researcher-designed programs targeting lexical, syllabic, and phonemic awareness. The article reports an effect size of 0.57.

"Phonological awareness studies show one of the highest effect sizes (0.57), which corresponds to a medium-high effect size following Cohen's (1988) benchmarks or above the 90th percentile in reading following Kraft's (2020)."
