This report summarizes the results of the Newark, New Jersey, Striving Readers program for project Years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. This report updates one analysis (3 years); the remainder of the impacts and implementation findings are for Year 4. The Striving Readers Grant addresses the unmet needs of middle school students reading 2 or more years below grade level and provides professional development for teachers in all core content areas to help them learn about and use more effective literacy strategies. Nineteen middle schools in Newark are participating in the U.S. Department of Education Striving Readers study. Two components of the project are being evaluated: a targeted intervention and a whole-school intervention. [This report is the product of a collaborative effort involving numerous individuals at Westat and Newark Public Schools.]
