the number of elementary school students who read
below grade level. The company that developed this
program supplied materials and teacher training for a
large-scale test involving nearly 8500 children in several

showed that the percentage of students who did not meet
the grade-level goal was reduced from 15.9% to 15.1%.

b) Even though this reading method has been shown to
