| Abstract: | In school year 2023-2024, the Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County (ELC PBC) led the deployment of "My Reading Academy" across the School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC), across all privately operated 256 voluntary pre-k (VPK) sites and the SDPBC (public and private schools). In school year 2023-2024, pre-kindergarten students (n = 635) with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) across 139 sites in Palm Beach County made meaningful progress in "My Reading Academy," mastering, on average, 17.1 learning units over 19.5 hours. Two hundred and thirty-eight pre-k students who used the program for at least 10 total hours (= 3 hours per semester) achieved statistically significantly higher reading gains in comparison to their peers who did not use the program--about 7-8 months of extra learning (effect size = 0.63). |
