Results of a Three Tiered Model Implementation:
The Heartland Early Literacy Project (HELP)
Results: Phonemic Segmentation Fluency (PSF) Raw Score Gains
Data reported in this section reflect cross-sectional data collected during each successive year of project implementation. During Heartland's first year of implementation, 36 Heartland schools participated in the project. Additional schools joined the project in each successive project year. One hundred twenty-one schools are currently participating in the project. The number of students participating during each project year is listed directly on each figure.
Figure 2 reflects phonemic-segmentation fluency growth data for participating schools across 4 implementation years. Each successive year, students' end of the year proficiency on PSF has increased. The gray areas on the graphic represent the target rates of phonemic segmentation fluency recommended as placing children on successful trajectories for beginning reading skills (Good & Kaminski, 2002).
