Early Interactive Reading Software Program Report (EISP). Report to the Education Interim Committee
Amber Wright; David MacKay; Stephanie Su
Utah State Board of Education
The Early Interactive Software Program (EISP) was designed to increase the literacy skills of all students in K-3 through adaptive computer-based literacy software. Eleven software vendors were selected by schools and qualified by the state to provide reading software programs through the EISP in 2023-2024. The vendors used during the school year were (in alphabetical order): 95 Reading Achievement Program ("95 RAP"), Age of Learning, Amira Learning, Curriculum Associates ("iReady"), Dreambox Reading Park ("Dreambox"), Imagine Language & Literacy, Lexia® ("Core5®"), Moby Max, Read Naturally Live, Reading Horizons, and Waterford Reading Academy. The Evaluation and Training Institute (ETI), the EISP program evaluator, studied two core aspects of the program: (1) students' use of the program during the school year (program enrollment and implementation); and (2) the effects of the program on increasing students' literacy achievement (program impacts). The current evaluation examined the program as a whole (refer to as "program-wide" throughout this report), encompassing all eleven vendors, as well as the reading outcomes for each individual provider. This report summarizes the overall results across the program. The authors conclude by presenting our longitudinal findings on the implementation and impact of the EISP over the last six school years.
