ReadTheory is proven to improve students’ reading comprehension.

This study examines the correlation between ReadTheory use and literacy proficiency across Georgia school districts on the 2023-2024 Georgia Milestones Assessment. Districts with high ReadTheory usage reached proficiency levels dramatically higher than their low-usage peers. Two key findings emerge from this research:

• Districts with high ReadTheory usage achieved a 56% proficiency rate—compared to just 15% in low-use districts—a remarkable 3.7x advantage.
• Schools using ReadTheory consistently outperformed their peers across all grade levels, demonstrating its effectiveness as a scalable solution for literacy growth.

This study analyzed the usage of ReadTheory in eight of North Carolina’s largest School Districts during the 2022-2023 school year. It examined ReadTheory’s impact on reading outcomes using state summative assessment data and ReadTheory usage data. The research highlights two key takeaways:

• Higher usage of ReadTheory directly correlated with higher reading growth scores.
• Districts using ReadTheory consistently saw higher reading growth scores on state assessments, (up to 15 points higher to be exact) compared to districts with low or no ReadTheory usage.

This study evaluated the impact of ReadTheory in a controlled setting at a high school where half of the student population engaged with ReadTheory, while the other half followed the standard curriculum. The findings revealed that students who utilized ReadTheory achieved significantly higher reading growth scores on benchmark assessments. This research emphasizes two key insights:

• Classes that fully implemented ReadTheory achieved significantly higher Median Growth Percentile (MGP) than their initial benchmarks.
• Students who consistently engaged with ReadTheory demonstrated faster reading growth compared to their non-participating peers.
