q3 · i? · causal · r2

Secondary analysis of KS2 English reading SAT fine marked scores using an analogous linear mixed model with KS1 reading scores as pre-test, in the same 64-school cluster randomised trial. The article reports no statistically significant difference; equivalence was not tested and no effect size is printed.

"There was also no evidence that the intervention had an impact on the Key Stage 2 reading test, or a differential impact on pupils who were eligible for free school meals or pupils who took part in more tutoring sessions."
