Assessment
Results for 2001-2002 Start-up Session
Letters, Sounds and Words Program
The success of the 10-week program is reflected in the information
on these two pages. The results are shown by strand (i.e. letters,
sounds, words). Not all children in the program are represented due
to the glitches experienced in this pilot project that resulted in
the inability of sites to submit data or record accurately. 82% are
represented.
- Overall 86% to 89% of the children (depending on the
strand) were successful in making significant to excellent gains!
- 39% - 55% of the children (depending on the strand) made
excellent gains.
- 31% - 47% of the children (depending on the strand) made
significant gains.
- 11% to 14% of the children (depending on the strand) made
some gains.
- There were about 6 children who made no gains.
Note: Since this data generates from the first session in 20 of the
22 sites, it should be viewed as base-line data for the project. The
first session requires a lot of learning for the staff in how to implement
the program. As the project progresses and new sites are added growth
will be controlled so that there will be a much smaller percentage
of sites in their start-up position for any one year.
