Abstract: • Phase 3 definitive randomized controlled trial in high schools in England. • The intervention aims to improve overall reading and comprehension. • The intervention is a teacher/teaching assistant instruction program for reading comprehension instruction to targeted students. • The magnitude of the observed change in the treatment group was in line with previous findings. • No significant differences in gains were found between control and treatment group. Targeted reciprocal reading instruction can lead to improved reading attainment. Though tested in elementary schools, the technique is less studied with older students. This paper reports results from a Phase 3 definitive trial designed to detect attainment gains previously identified in studies. The trial was conducted with students in 20 English high schools. Process data found the technique implementable by schools. Test data (n=733) found no significant differences between treatment and control groups, although the observed changes in treatment group students was of similar magnitude to those detected in a previous study. The effects of Covid19 are difficult to calculate, as this was an unusual time-period in the educational experiences of the sample, which may have resulted in atypical findings.
