[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] After-school program study

[Lesley Farmer]

This study evaluates the Communities Organizing Resources to Advance
Learning (CORAL) initiative's changes in the quality of its literacy
programming, the children's participation and engagement, and the
relationship of each factor to improvement in reading. Higher-quality
after-school literacy activities (involving direct instruction with
enrichment activities including tutoring) correlated with higher
reading scores and more positive attitude about reading, a finding that
applied to all student populations.Arbreton, A., et al. (2008).
