q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?

The WWC's findings summary for the phonological processing domain across the six included studies, where corrections for clustering and multiple comparisons were applied. The report states "Four studies showed statistically significant and positive effects and two studies showed substantively important and positive effects."

"Four studies showed statistically significant and positive effects and two studies showed substantively important and positive effects."
