The
Effectiveness of Reading and Mathematics Software Products: Findings from Two Student Cohorts reports on the impacts on student achievement of a second year of use of selected software programs in 1st grade reading, 4th grade reading, 6th grade math, and algebra I. The evaluation found no significant difference in student achievement between the classrooms that used the technology products and the classrooms that did not use the technology products, in any of the four groups, in either the first or second year of use by teachers. Only one product, Leap Track in 4th grade, had a statistically significant positive effect on student achievement. The report cleared IES peer review on January 27, 2009.
