End-of-Year Report: Impact of Once on K Reading Growth 23-24 as Measured by aimswebPlus

A gap-closing impact study — kindergarten students using Once at an Ohio school grew faster than their national peers and the rest of the district on aimswebPlus.

There are many reasons to look forward to summer. One of my favorites is that we start to get fresh assessment data from our partners!

This report describes the gap-closing impact that Once had through a full-kindergarten implementation at a school in Ohio according to their aimswebPlus data for the 2023-2024 school year.

The sample size is small (44 students with BOY and EOY scores), but the percentile numbers tell a clear story: students who got Once grew at a rate that greatly exceeded their national peer group and the rest of the kindergarteners in their district as well!

Expect more reports soon about results from this past school year! We’re receiving data now from schools across the country using assessments from iReady to DIBELS.
