Abstract: This report highlights Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District's 2022-2023 implementation of "My Reading Academy" with kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students across its 17 elementary schools. The district began using "My Reading Academy" with 10 classrooms of pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students in spring 2021, and given the substantial gains students made in their reading skills during a short period of time in a school year disrupted by the pandemic, the program implementation was expanded to additional grade levels in the district in subsequent school years. Students' "My Reading Academy" usage has been associated with significant improvements on CIRCLE Progress Monitoring Assessment System (pre-K) and on iStation (kindergarten). This study builds on the existing evidence by demonstrating the effectiveness of the program as measured by NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). This report compares the performance of different progress groups in each grade (low, medium, high) as well as between the students in each grade who used "My Reading Academy" (treatment) and their peers who did not (comparison). In comparing the performance of treatment and comparison groups, propensity score weights were calculated for each student to ensure that the two groups were as comparable as possible.
