During this year, or half-year in one case, the student gains in the subgroup were twice the gain of average students for a year, and eight times their own previous average annual. For most of these students, another year of this magnitude of gain would bring them to where they "look like" average students, at test-score perspective. As it is, they have experienced a year of considerable growth and have reached a level in reading where, with effort, they can manage typical upper-elementary grade academic tasks. As an aside, all these students were coded as having serious learning disabilities or communication disorders.
