9 Does not use a strong causal design: this study did not use a comparison group.
10 The sample is not appropriate to this review: the parameters for this WWC review specified that students should be in grades K–3 during the time of the intervention; this study did not focus on the targeted grades.
11 The outcome measures are not relevant to this review: the parameters for this WWC review specified student outcome measures but this study did not focus on students.
12 High overall attrition: the study, which used a randomized controlled trial design, reported an extreme overall attrition rate.
13 The sample is not appropriate to this review: this study did not disaggregate data for students in other grades K–3, the focus of this WWC review.
