Abstract	A study evaluated the effectiveness of the 1993-94 Reading Recovery program as implemented in the Columbus, Ohio, public schools. The program featured individualized one-on-one lessons provided by 61 specially trained teachers serving 402 pupils. Data included results of administration of Metropolitan Achievement Tests and Scott Foresman text reading level testing. Pupils included in the final analyses for Desired Outcomes 1, 2, and 3 must have received 60 or more instructional lessons or have been successfully discontinued (completed) from the program. The treatment group consisted of the 145 pupils who were either discontinued (105) or received 60 or more lessons but not discontinued (40). Results indicated that: (1) 93.1% of the pupils displayed over time each of 3 strategic processing behaviors (monitoring reading, constructing meaning, and integrating sources of information); (2) 97.9% of the pupils were not retained (criterion was 75.0%); (3) 95.2% of the pupils read 5 or more books at text reading level 8 or above; (4) 434 different parents or guardians were involved in some way with the program; (4) 19% of the evaluation sample pupils reached the average NCE (42.2) for the district as a whole; (5) 34.6% (37) of the pupils from the 1991-92 treatment group and 42.7% (64) of the pupils from the 1992-93 treatment group were still being served in a compensatory education program; and (6) the overall retention rate for all 3 treatment groups was 4.3%. Findings suggest continuation of the program with attention given to 7 recommendations. (Contains 13 tables of data. Appendixes present survey and evaluation instruments.) (RS)
