What reading programs have been proven to help students in grades 2-5 to succeed? To find out, this review summarizes evidence on three types of programs designed to improve the reading achievement of students in grades 2-5:
- Reading Curricula (Curr), such as Open Court, Harcourt, Reading Street and other standard and alternative textbooks
- Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI), such as Jostens/Compass Learning and Accelerated Reader.
- Instructional Process Programs (IP), such as cooperative learning and classroom management and motivation approaches, and cross-age tutoring.
