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.
q4 i? Provider was a significant moderator of reading comprehension but not of affirming motivations. → van der Sande 2023

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
Categorical moderator analysis on immediate post-tests: researcher-delivered interventions (k = 6) showed d = 0.66 on comprehension versus d = 0.24 for other providers; Q(2) = 6.78*. Provider did not significantly moderate affirming motivations (Q(2) = 3.21).
"interventions delivered by researchers had larger effects on reading comprehension than interventions delivered by others."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Effects on affirming motivations and reading comprehension are trivial at delayed post-tests and do not significantly differ from immediate-posttest effects — related
- Interventions that trigger interest have larger effects on affirming motivations and reading comprehension than interventions that do not — related
- Programs focusing solely on motivation are equally effective in stimulating affirming motivations and reading comprehension as programs combining motivational support with skills instruction — related
- Effects on affirming motivations are larger when total intervention duration is longer and when the share of boys in the sample is higher — related
- Effects on reading comprehension are larger for primary schoolers than secondary schoolers and larger for typical readers than struggling readers, with no such differences for affirming motivations — related
- Effects on affirming motivations were largest for teacher reports, but this rests on a single study — related
- Theory-based reading motivation interventions have a small significant positive effect on reading comprehension (d = 0.27) — a broader claim this one bears on
- Early reading interventions (Grades K–1) show larger effects than interventions provided in Grades 2–5 — related
