A Field-Based Evaluation of Sustained Reading (SSR) in Intermediate Grades.
Summers, Edward G.; McClelland, J. Vivan
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v28 n2 p100-12 Jun 1982

Data from 65 intermediate grade classrooms (using individual students as analysis units) revealed no significant differences on standardized and informal measures and no significant interactive effects. The teachers' summative evaluation found the program desirable. (AH)
