Academy of READING®. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report
What Works Clearinghouse
"Academy of READING"® is an online program that aims to improve students' reading skills using a structured and sequential approach to learning in five core areas--phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified 38 studies of "Academy of READING"® for adolescent readers that were published or released between 1989 and 2013. Only one of the studies met the WWC criteria for an eligible sample and research design, as described in the Adolescent Literacy review protocol. This study does not meet WWC group design standards. Therefore, more research is needed to determine the impacts of "Academy of READING"® on adolescent readers. A glossary of terms is included.
Descriptors: Reading Programs, Reading Improvement, Reading Skills, Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary Development, Reading Comprehension, Adolescents, Sequential Learning, Difficulty Level, Placement, Reading Tests, Acceleration (Education), Learner Engagement, Reading Rate, Accuracy, Program Evaluation
