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.
q2 i0 Three years after implementation, Reading Recovery showed no statistically significant average effect on mathematics achievement. → math-1

q2 · i0 · quant-synthesis · r1
WWC synthesis of National Curriculum Assessment mathematics results three years after implementation in Burroughs-Lange & Douëtil (2007), UK Year 4 students in two comparison samples of 121 and 193 students. Neither comparison was statistically significant (p=0.19 and p=0.65).
"The research does not support claims that Reading Recovery® improved student mathematics achievement. This assessment is based on one study that meets WWC standards."
