Program Results First Grade Vocabulary
Enhancement Program

• Vocabulary pre-test/post-test scores evaluated
  the programs success for the first set of 6
  books and the second set of 6 books. The
  vocabulary instruments are a simple list of the
  vocabulary words chosen from each book in the
  sets. Volunteers asked children to respond with
  a definition or an example of each word.
• The pre-test and posttest results for the first
  set of books showed an average of 52 points on
  the pre-test to an average of 109 points on the
  posttest. This is an increase of 57 points from
  pre-test to posttest. 206 students or 52.15 of
  students scores were available for this
  measurement.
• The pre-test and posttest results for the second
  set of books showed an average of 41 points on
  the pre-test to an average of 103 points on the
  posttest. This is an increase of 62 points from
  pre-test to posttest. 94 students or 23.8 of
  students scores were available for this
  measurement.

Program Results 2nd Grade Fluency Program

• We evaluated the program through teacher and
  volunteer surveys. Additionally, we collected
  the initial score for Correct Words Per Minute
  (CWPM) and the corresponding passage number. We
  then collected the ending CWPM score and
  corresponding passage number. The results are
  highlighted below
• The initial passage number for all students is
  the very first passage in the series, passage
  101. The average score was 69 CWPM.
• The ending passage number varied by student.
  Nearly 27 of students had an ending passage in
  the first grade level and 73 had an ending
  passage in the 2nd grade level.
• The ending average score for CWPM was 101 which
  represent an increase of 32 CWPM from the
  pre-test to the post-test.
• The scores were collected from 320 students or
  61.19 of the students participating in the
  program.

Educators say.

• I started signing students up for this
  opportunity a few years ago and ever year my
  students have participated I have seen
  significant growth from those students. Sometimes
  students just need that personalized time out of
  the classroom. It also gives them an opportunity
  to feel special. I will definitely continue to
  use this program as long as it is offered to my
  students!
