Increasing the Reading Achievement of At-Risk Children through Direct Instruction: Evaluation of the Rodeo Institute for Teacher Excellence.

Carlson, Coleen D.; Francis, David J.

Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, v7 n2 p141-66 2002

Evaluated the Rodeo Institute for Teacher Excellence (RITE), a phonics-based program that addressed at-risk students' failure to develop reading skills and provided teacher professional development. Data on K-2 students in intervention and control schools indicated that the RITE program successfully increased RITE students' reading abilities, particularly students who entered the program early and remained in the program.
