q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive analysis of weekly comprehension percentages (Table 6, Figure 2) across the 10-week treatment; TROR phase averages were 65.42%, 65.47%, and 70.42%, while TR averages stayed around 66% throughout.

"In most instances, both groups fell below the 70% threshold, although the TROR group saw comprehension gains above the threshold toward the end of the treatment."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Reading Fluency — outcome: instruction changes it
