From Behind to On Benchmark:
Intervention Impact Study

Johns Hopkins University researchers spent the 23-24 school year studying the reading progress of nearly 2,000 1st graders engaged in daily 1:1 foundational reading skills intervention from Ignite Reading.

Here's what they learned:

  • Students reading on benchmark increased 213% with the help of high-dosage tutoring
  • The number of students in need of intensive intervention decreased 55%.
  • Students across demographics — including students of color, multilingual learners, and those with an IEP — all improved their skills at nearly the same rate, gaining an average of 5.4 months of added learning (compared to national averages).

Success Spotlight: Reading Growth Stories From Some of Our Partners

"At one given time, we have 15 students plugged into Ignite Reading, receiving instruction from 15 different adults. Never could we replicate that in a school system, and we couldn't afford it."

Johns Hopkins University researchers followed 1st graders in the Chelsea Public Schools — an urban district located right outside Boston — for one year to evaluate success of their early literacy intervention.

They found the number of students in need of intensive intervention was cut in half with the help of Ignite Reading tutor educators — from 88% to just 35%.

Oakland Unified School District, Oakland, California

Esperanza Elementary School in Oakland, CA, has a student population with one of the highest percentages of multilingual learners (MLLs) of any school in the United States. 

The school has partnered with Ignite Reading to help multilingual students who were reading well below benchmark master foundational reading skills.

After 25 weeks of tutoring, 91% of students had achieved 1 to 2 grade levels of reading growth.
