The MORE Study

The MORE Study is the result of a long-standing relationship between a large Southeastern school district and the READS Lab.  We are currently conducting a randomized control trial (RCT) in 30 SE schools (n=5800 students) to determine the efficacy of the MORE curriculum in grades 1-3 classrooms.  Currently, we are in year three of the study. Data collection will wrap up in the summer of 2021 and we anticipate early results in the winter of 202. 

​

The primary goal of the MORE study is to support educators and families in applying diagnoses and interventions that ensure every child, especially struggling learners, can read and comprehend content-rich text.

To meet this goal, we have developed a rich, rigorous curriculum we call MORE (Model of Reading Engagement).  The MORE curriculum includes a set of 20 MORE grade-level lessons (90 activities)-- for teachers to implement in grades 1-2 (Year 1), grades 2-3 (Year 2), and grade 3 (Year 3).

We also have developed a mobile MORE app that is personalized to individual students' reading levels to encourage reading  and support students' developing literacy skills.  The app includes over 1700 activities directly related to the books MORE students read in school and and home.

​

Currently, the MORE curriculum is available only for study participants.  However, you might be interested learning about our open access summer learning program.
