The treatment group consisted ofthe 230 pupils who were either discontinued (202) or received 60 or morelessons but not discontinued (28). Results indicated that (1) of the 230treatment group pupils, 217 (94.3%) displayed over time each of the 3strategic processing behaviors (monitoring reading, constructing meaning, andintegrating sources of information); (2) of the 202 pupils who werediscontinued from the Reading Recovery program, 197 had available scores froma benchmark reading assessment administered to all grade 1 pupils in thedistrict, and of those, 173 (87.8%) passed the assessment; (3) of the 28pupils who were not discontinued but received at least 60 lessons, 24 hadavailable benchmark scores, and of those, 9 (37.5%) passed the benchmark; (4)
of the treatment group of 230 pupils, 219 (95.2%) read 5 or more books attext reading level 8 or above (criterion was 75.0%); (5) a total of 1,639parent contacts were made with program teachers, and average of 3.5 contactsfor each pupil served; and (6) the 230 treatment group pupils represented48.9% of the 470 pupils served, but represented 58.4% of the total number ofcontacts made with parents or guardians. Findings support continuation of theprogram with attention given to seven recommendations. (Contains eightfigures of data.) (RS)
