Abstract

As part of the 2010 economic stimulus, a $55 million “Investing in Innovation” (i3) grant from the US Department of Education was awarded to scale up Reading Recovery across the nation. The goal was to expand Reading Recovery in more than 2,000 schools and provide targeted literacy assistance to nearly 100,000 struggling first-grade students. This symposium presents the second round of results from the large-scale, mixed methods randomized evaluation of the implementation and impacts of Reading Recovery under this i3 Project, including a special focus on the mixed-methods implementation evaluation that revealed numerous programmatic and contextual factors that may support or hinder implementation of Reading Recovery by individual schools.
