Note. KBIT Verbal = The Verbal Knowledge subtest of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test–2 (Kaufman & Kaufman, 2004); TOWRE = Test of Word Reading Efficiency (Torgesen, Wagner, & Raschote, 1999); WJPC = Woodcock-Johnson III Passage Comprehension (Woodcock, McGrew, & Mather, 2001); GRADE = Group Reading Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation Passage Comprehension (Williams, 2002); AIMS = AIMSweb Maze CBM Reading Comprehension (AIMS, Shinn & Shinn, 2002); W1–W5 = Wave 1–Wave 5. AIMS means are Raw Scores. All other IQ and reading means are Standard Scores. Weeks = 7 days/week. October 10, the median time point of testing during the first wave, was the reference for calculating each individual student’s week of testing for each wave. For example, a student tested on the following days: 9/21, 11/28, 1/29, 3/22, and 4/24 was tested at the following weeks: −2.7, 7.0, 15.9, 23.3, 28.0. AIMS Gain per Week = AIMS (W1–W5 gain)/Weeks (W1–W5).
