Ross, Steven M.; And Others – American Educational Research Journal, 1995
Processes and outcomes associated with Reading Recovery and Success for All reading instruction programs were studied for first graders in 3 schools (n=184). Reading Recovery strongly benefited tutored students, but Success for All was more beneficial for special education students and untutored students. (SLD)

Chaplin, Duncan; Capizzano, Jeffrey – Online Submission, 2006
A growing body of evidence indicates that the test scores of low-income children drop significantly relative to their higher-income counterparts during the summer months. This study finds that a well-implemented summer learning program can improve reading skills and increase the extent to which parents encourage their children to read during the…

Sherwood, Robert D. – 1991
Prior to college-level mathematics coursework, students are not routinely provided with the opportunity to engage in the kind of sustained mathematical thinking necessary to solve complex, multistep problems, most likely because of the difficulties that school mathematics teachers face in communicating problem settings and contexts that are…

Iversen, Sandra; Tunmer, William E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1993
To determine whether the Reading Recovery (RR) program would be more effective if systematic instruction in phonological-recoding skills were incorporated, first-grade at-risk readers were divided into 3 groups of 32 children each (modified RR, standard RR, and standard intervention groups). Reading progress was strongly related to…
