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.
q3 i? Children who received the language-focused Tier II instruction did not differ significantly from control children on language outcomes at posttest. → Lonigan 2016

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Randomized evaluation in Study 1: 93 children qualified at midyear in Title I preschools and were randomized to need-aligned small-group Tier II instruction or Tier I only, analyzed with multi-level models. The article reports "no other main effects of the language-focused instruction on the language outcomes (ps > .13)".
"There were no other main effects of the language-focused instruction on the language outcomes (ps > .13)."

- In Study 1, effects of language-focused Tier II instruction were moderated by qualification status: dual-qualified children gained on expressive language while language-only children scored lower on definitional vocabulary — related
- In Study 2, intensified and narrowed Tier II instruction produced significant and moderate-to-large impacts for RTI-identified preschoolers — reports the opposite
- In Study 1, children with higher midyear blending scores who received code-focused instruction scored significantly lower than controls on blending at posttest — related
