Abstract

The study highlights the importance of continuously monitoring and developing reading and mathematical abilities in 3rd and 4th-grade students. Research underscores the crucial objective of nurturing proficient skills in both domains while acknowledging varied conclusions regarding their interplay. Therefore, the study aims to examine the effectiveness of reading comprehension (RC) and mathematical development (M) programs, as well as assessing their combined application and exploring transfer effects in the entire sample and among disadvantaged students. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with online assessments and adaptive interventions, the results reveal the positive impact of a year-long developmental program encompassing both RC and M. These findings offer valuable insights for shaping effective educational practices and promoting comprehensive academic growth, particularly among disadvantaged student populations.
