Analysis of Math and Reading Achievement Before and After Cognitive Training
Achievement Outcomes for LearningRx Students: A Differential Effects Analysis of Math and Reading Achievement Before and After Cognitive Training
Abstract: To assess the outcomes of the ReadRx and MathRx programs for 2,096 students in
2008 to 2014, pre-intervention reading and math achievement scores were compared to postintervention
scores on the Woodcock Johnson III Tests of Achievement. To add a measure of control,
we conducted a differential effects analysis of performance on achievement tests measuring the
opposite skills from which the students were trained. MathRx students made nearly twice the gains in
math than the ReadRx students, and ReadRx students made nearly twice the gains in reading as the
MathRx students. The results indicate that the reading and math interventions are indeed targeting
the skills they are intended to remediate.
