Note. N= 13 3 students (47 Interactive Book Reading (IBR), 42 Phonological Awareness (PA), and 44 Business-as-Usual(BAU)), 57 teachers, and 8 districts. For Model 3, IBR n = 45 due to two missing Cohort 3 students’ classroom observations. Recept Voc = receptive vocabulary as measured by the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test IV; Express Voc = expressive vocabulary as measured by the Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test IV; Listen Comp = listening comprehension as measured by the Woodcock Johnson III Listening Comprehension cluster. All tests in standard scores. Pretest = respective pretest standard score, in z-scores; Class Obs = minutes observed during classroom observation that student participated (within 60-minute period), in z-scores (PA = phonological awareness, OL = oral language, and SR = storybook reading). Observed p-values reported; significant adjusted p-values (p < 0.017) are in boldface.
