*Note: N = 213 Comparison and 45 RISE students. Week 10 was Spring break and was therefore excluded from the analysis.
Star Early Literacy and Star Reading Assessments LXD Research also analyzed scaled scores from the Winter 2023 and Spring 2023 administrations of the Star Early Literacy, Star Reading, and FAST ELA assessments (See Figure 4). While students in grades 1, 2, and 3 outperformed the comparison group, the results were not statistically significant.

Perceptions LXD Research conducted interviews to gather details on the implementation and experiences with RISE/Up. The third-party research firm also administered an online teacher survey to gauge perceived impacts and attitudes toward the program. Data indicate that RISE/Up interventionists and teachers' perceptions of the program were overwhelmingly favorable, especially regarding content, student engagement, and achievement. In an online survey, 93% of teachers indicated that the students particularly enjoyed the content of the books, and 86% of the teachers selected the group discussions.
