The review's fluency-domain rating statement: one RCT (Kim et al., DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency) showed a statistically significant positive effect; the other (Fitzgerald & Hartry, Cohort 1 DIBELS) was indeterminate. Table 5 reports two studies, 561 students, seven schools.

"In the two studies that reported findings, the estimated impact of the intervention on outcomes in the reading fluency domain was positive and statistically significant for one study that meets WWC group design standards without reservations, and one study showed indeterminate effects."
