Document Number: 6870 Volume II: Closing the Reading Gap: First Year Findings from a Randomized Trial of Four Reading Interventions for Striving Readers - The nation’s 16,000 school districts spend hundreds of millions of dollars on reading intervention services about which little is known regarding effectiveness. Which ones work best, and for whom? Under what conditions are they most effective? Do these programs have the potential to close the reading gap? To help answer these questions, the authors initiated an evaluation of either parts or all of four widely used programs for elementary school students with reading problems: Corrective Reading, Failure Free Reading, Spell Read P.A.T. and Wilson Reading.
