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 average effect of Pre-K Mathematics on language outcomes was not statistically significant (summary effect size 0.10, p = 0.57), based on one study. → lang-summary-1

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1

WWC synthesis of one study (Klein et al., 2008) with 296 children across two language measures (PPVT-III and TOLD Grammatical Understanding). The report states "The research does not support claims that Pre-K Mathematics improved student language."

"Summary for Language: uncertain effects 0.10 +4 No (p=0.57)"
