Reading Effects of IBM's "Writing to Read" Program: A Review of Evaluations.

Slavin, Robert E.

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v13 n1 p1-11 Spr 1991

Evaluations of IBM's Writing to Read program for kindergartners and first graders are reviewed. The 21 kindergarten studies evidenced a median effect size of 0.23; however, in many cases this effect may be a result of comparisons with nonacademic programs. Across 13 first grade studies, the median effect size was 0.00. (TJH)
