Abstract
In this community-based implementation study, 785 Grade 2 struggling readers received evidence-based reading remediation in their schools. Students showed reliable change in standardized reading scores measured before/ after the program. Importantly, their rate of reading improvement each academic year continued to be high through to the end of elementary school.
