Efficacy Studies

Explode The Code Online has been used by thousands of struggling readers. Efficacy studies indicate that students who used Explode The Code Online every day for 20 minutes for at least 10 ten weeks gained reading proficiency at a rate of at least three times that of students from the same schools who did not use the program. (Results are based on statistically significant Chi-Square test analyses of student performance on the California Standards Test in 2004-05 and 2005-06 from three schools in the Ravenswood City School District.)*

Results have been dramatic for English Language Learners. Among Explode The Code Online users, the percentage of English Language Learners who performed at far below basic and below basic levels decreased by 37.5%. There was no change in the performance among English Language Learners from the same schools who did not use the software.
