Subject:Re: Benchmark Reading Program They use both leveled text and decodable text. Leveled for guided reading instruction and comprehension skills, as well as content (math, science, social studies) and decodable text with the phonics Start Up to Build Up components. Benchmark Literacy is a comprehensive, research-proven program that empowers both experienced and beginning teachers. Builds foundational skills—such as phonics, word study, and fluency-to produce proficient readers. How the Common Core is shaping the commonplaces of the reading curriculum and our participatory role in this process. Reading Program Content The Common Core is not a curriculum. It is a set of standards around which curriculum (aka reading programs) can be built—the specifications that inform program instructional content.

Many reading programs claim to boost student performance, but how is that measured? Johns Hopkins University examined more than 200 published studies to create this quick guide to programs.
In this article:
What reading programs have been proven to help middle and high school students to succeed? To find out, this review summarizes evidence on four types of programs designed to improve the reading achievement of students in grades 6-12:
- Reading Curricula (Curr), such as LANGUAGE!, McDougal Littel, 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, strategy instruction, and other approaches primarily intended to change teachers' instructional methods rather than curriculum or textbooks.
- Combined CAI and Instructional Process Models (CAI + IP) such as READ 180 and Voyager Passport.
Benchmark Literacy Reading Program Reviews
Key findings
Overall, 36 experimental-control comparisons met the inclusion criterion, of which 7 used random assignment to treatments. No studies of reading curricula qualified, but there were 8 studies of CAI, 16 of instructional process programs, 10 of combined CAI and instructional process programs, and 2 of combined curriculum and instructional process programs. Effect sizes were averaged across studies, weighted by sample size.
- Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI). Studies of CAI find minimal achievement outcomes. Mean weighted effect size across 8 studies: +0.10.
- Instructional Process Strategies (IP). The largest number of high-quality studies evaluated instructional process programs, especially forms of cooperative learning (ES= +0.28 in 7 studies). Mean weighted effect size across 14 studies: +0.21.
- Combined CAI and Instructional Process Programs (CAI + IP). Positive effects were found for READ 180. Mean weighted effect size across 9 studies: +0.22.
- Combined Curriculum and Instructional Process Programs (Curr + IP). A randomized study of REACH found an effect size of 0.00, and the same study found an effect size of +0.17 for RISE.
Program ratings
Listed below are currently available programs, grouped by strength of effectiveness. Within each group, programs are listed alphabetically. The type for each program corresponds to the categories above (e.g., IP = Instructional Process Strategies).
Strong evidence of effectiveness
None
Moderate evidence of effectiveness
Program | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Jostens | CAI | Provides an extensive set of assessments which place students in an individualized instructional sequence. Students then work individually on exercises designed to fill in gaps in their skills. |
The Reading Edge | IP | Uses a cooperative learning structure that groups students for reading instruction according to their reading level across grades and classes. |
READ 180 | CAI + IP | An intervention program that addresses individual needs of students through differentiated instruction, adaptive and instructional software, high-interest literature, and direct instruction in reading, writing, and vocabulary skills. |
Student Team Reading | IP, Cooperative Learning | A cooperative learning program in which students work in four or five member teams to help one another build reading skills. |
Limited evidence of effectiveness
Program | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Accelerated Reader | CAI | A supplemental program that assesses students' reading levels using a computer, which then prints out suggestions for reading materials at students' level. |
Benchmark Detectives | IP, Strategy | A form of strategy instruction that teaches students to use known words to decode unknown words, to use context as a check for making sense, to chunk words into meaningful units, and to be flexible in applying known word parts. |
PALS | IP,Cooperative Learning | A cooperative learning program in which students work in pairs, taking turns reading aloud to one another and engaging in summarization and prediction activities. |
RISE | Curr + IP | An intervention guided by the philosophy that teachers, given time, resources, and strong professional development support, can create effective curriculum that is engaging and provides remediation for struggling adolescent readers. |
Strategy Intervention Model | IP, Strategy | A method in which low-achieving secondary students are taught metacognitive reading strategies, especially paraphrasing, to help them comprehend text. |
Talent Development Middle School | IP, CSR | A program which focuses on classic books, more high-level questions, and additional background information for students. |
Voyager Passport | CAI + IP | A program with whole-group instruction, flexible small-group activities, and partner practice that engages students with DVDs, online learning activities, and other instructional strategies focused on comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and writing. |

Review methods
An exhaustive search considered more than 300 published and unpublished articles. It included those that met the following criteria:
Benchmark Reading Program Reviews
- Schools or classrooms using each program had to be compared to randomly assigned or well-matched control groups.
- Study duration had to be at least 12 weeks.
- Outcome measures had to be assessments of the reading content being taught in all classes. Almost all are standardized test, or state assessments.
- The review placed particular emphasis on studies in which schools, teachers, or students were assigned at random to experimental or control groups.
Program ratings basis
Programs were rated according to the overall strength of the evidence supporting their effects on reading achievement. 'Effect size' (ES) is the proportion of a standard deviation by which a treatment group exceeds a control group. Large studies are those involving a total of at least 10 classes or 250 students. The categories are as follows:
- Strong Evidence of Effectiveness: At least one large randomized or randomized quasi-experimental study, plus at least one additional study of any qualifying design, with a collective sample size of 500 students and an overall weighted mean effect size of at least +.20.
- Moderate Evidence of Effectiveness: Two large studies of any qualifying design or multiple smaller studies with a collective sample size of 500 students, with a median effect size of at least +0.20.
- Limited Evidence of Effectiveness: At least one qualifying study with statistically significant differences and effect size of +0.10 or more.
- Insufficient Evidence of Effectiveness: Studies show no significant differences.
- No Qualifying Studies: No studies met inclusion standards.
