q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r2
Meta-regression analysis (full model controlling for grade level and outcome type) across 11 studies and 51 effect sizes involving 8,839 K–6 students. The article reports a "positive, medium, and statistically significant effect (effect size = +0.49, p < 0.05)".
"Across the studies included, we obtained a positive, medium, and statistically significant effect (effect size = +0.49, p < 0.05) with a 95% confidence interval of −0.15 to −0.88, suggesting that the reading instructional practices and/or products were generally effective."
