Reading Disabilities [Dyslexia] [RD]

The Vocabulary and Comprehension (VoCo) project was a small study involving 44 struggling readers in Grade 9. The treatment was a multicomponent reading intervention delivered over 80 sessions during one school year. Data on measures of reading comprehension and fluency were collected at pre-test and post-test. Demographic data provided by the school district also are included in the dataset.

In the 2013-14 school year, two PACT social studies RCTs were conducted, both with Grade 8 students. One study focused on schools with a higher percentage of English learners. The second study focused on struggling readers and provided a more intensified version of the PACT program. The master codebook provides details on the variables in each dataset. Note: All data is provided in long format, and as such each participant has multiple rows.
