Reading Focus Across both settings, non-fction texts were more commonly used. In all observed classrooms, lessons centered on a singular text. Students spent an average of 10 minutes reading during the intervention. What types of RISE/ELA content were students assigned to read/engage with during the observation? Treatment Control ● Two classrooms read a nonfction text. ● One classroom focused on a fable. ● Two groups read fction texts. ● One instructor guided students through a nonfction text. ● The remaining classroom read a fction text.
