WWC Summarizes the Research on Achieve3000®

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) recently reviewed the research on Achieve3000® and its impacts on beginning and adolescent readers. The results are summarized in two intervention reports released today, February 27, by the Institute of Education Sciences.

Achieve3000® is a supplemental online literacy program that provides nonfiction reading content to students in grades preK–12. The program focuses on building phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills.

Based on the research, the WWC found that Achieve3000® had no discernible effects on reading fluency for beginning readers and potentially positive effects on comprehension and general literacy achievement for adolescent readers.
