Utah Preparing Students Today for a Rewarding Tomorrow (UPSTART) is a home-based computer preschool program developed and provided by the Waterford Institute to prepare young children for school entry and future academic success. The Evaluation and Training Institute (ETI), has prepared this report for the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) to document UPSTART's impact on students in its ninth year of implementation (Cohort 9, with students enrolled during the 2017-2018 program year). ETI responded to feedback and guidance from the UPSTART Advisory Committee (UAC), and they have continued their revised research design to meet a higher level of accountability for the program and explore longer-term aspects of UPSTART by reporting on two different areas: (1) The Cohort 9 Evaluation presents information on program student outcomes and implementation results for Cohort 9 using a pre-test/post-test design with a statistically matched control group in order to assess the program's impact on developing children's early literacy skills; and (2) The First Grade Analysis presents findings on UPSTART's continued impact on students' literacy achievement once children enter the elementary school setting. This report first provides an overview of the UPSTART program, followed by the research questions and findings in the above two areas. A summary and recommendations conclude the report.
