Research & Validation | Ready4Reading: A Literature Review

Ready4Reading Evidence Portfolio

33

In the context of this research base, Ready4Reading appears well-positioned to positively influence early literacy instruction in the primary grades and potentially enhance reading outcomes for students. Given the breadth of foundational research supporting the program’s overarching approach and methods, we conclude that Ready4Reading aligns closely with research-based best- practices in literacy science and indeed meets the qualifications for the ESSA Tier IV evidence category for schools seeking a comprehensive phonics solution. As Scholastic Education continues its research and development efforts, evaluation research that examines schools ,’ teachers’ and students’ experiences with the program, as well as its quantitative impact on explicitly fostering improved literacy development, is warranted to further examine this promising approach.
