Open Court Reading Program Shows Results

June 1, 2009

Geoffrey Borman and Maritza Dowling find that students participating in The Open Court Reading (OCR) program scored from 12% to 19% of 1 standard deviation higher on reading assessments than control groups not served by OCR.  The effect sizes for OCR are essentially equivalent to the impact for class-size reductions found through the Tennessee Student-Teacher Achievement Ratio randomized trial.
