Nebraska's Reading First State Report Fall 2005-6, Guy Trainin Feb 2006

Nebraska's Reading First State Report Fall 2005-6, Guy Trainin

Research and Evaluation in Education, Technology, Art, and Design

The Fall Progress Report offers an overview of student baseline achievement. Student achievement will be interpreted through two separate comparisons. In each section we start with a comparison of this year’s baseline and last year’s baseline; a between cohorts comparison. This comparison will show whether the starting point of Reading First schools is higher this year as we anticipated. A second comparison focuses on following student achievement from spring of 2004-2005 school year to fall of 2005-2006. This within cohort comparison shows the sustainability of last year’s gains and the effects of the Summer Reading Setback.
