Effects of reading instruction maximizing students' cognitive engagement on Grade 1 to 5 reading achievement were examined over a school year for students in 9 high-poverty schools. Hierarchical linear modeling showed that several teaching variables explained substantial variation in reading achievement growth. The most consistent finding was that teachers who emphasized higher-order thinking either through questions they asked or tasks they assigned promoted greater reading growth among target students.
