Research Published!

A study by Dr. Sandra Goetze evaluating the effectiveness of the Know-Its and Beyond Program has been published in The Journal of Balanced Reading Instruction, Spring 2008 (published by the International Reading Asssociation). The results "clearly demonstrated that students perfomed better on standardized testing" and "achieved significant gains in these [early literacy] skills when compared to students who did not participate" (p. 141, 155).
Mr. Know-It: May all you students become Know-Its
