Biweekly FastBridge Repeated Measures ANOVA Findings A repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted to determine whether students changed in Words Read Correctly Per Minute (WRCPM) over the course of the intervention (i.e., from Week 2 to Week 14).

WRCPM scores did not signifcantly difer between groups at the beginning of the intervention (i.e., at Week 2/3; t (256) = 0.97, p = .34). Results indicated that both the RISE group and the Comparison group signifcantly increased in WRCPM scores over the course of the study. The ANOVA was signifcant at the .001 level F (1, 5) = 34.1, p < .001, partial eta squared efect size = .40. In addition to the main efect of time on growth over the six occasions, an interaction efect showed that growth was stronger for RISE participants than for the comparison group. This interaction was signifcant at the .01 level, F (1, 5) = 3.3, p < .01, partial eta squared efect size = .06 (please see Graph 4). When including grade level as a covariate in the model, grade level had no signifcant efect ( p = .27). Considering the dosage was less than half of the intended usage, these results are very promising.
