The study compared the reading growth of students who received targeted interventions, students who received typical school interventions, and students who were already proficient readers.
Students who received targeted interventions had higher reading growth scores than those who received typical interventions.
Targeted interventions were selected and implemented by school personnel, and the study found that these interventions were effective in improving reading growth.
The study also found that targeting specific reading skills, such as phonemic awareness or decoding, can be more effective than providing comprehensive multicomponent interventions.
The results suggest that targeting reading interventions to student needs can be an effective way to improve reading growth, especially when implemented by school personnel in authentic settings.
