Evaluation of a Dual Approach to Reading Intervention
The central aim of this article is to demonstrate how educators can develop and implement
interventions strengthened by a dual focus. To showcase the program’s efficacy, a brief evaluation of the
program is provided here (for a full discussion see Hornery, 2011). The qualitative evaluation was
conducted using semi-structured interviews with children (n = 52; Years 1- 4), parents (n = 15), teachers
(n = 28), and volunteer reading buddies (n = 31). As the purpose of the interviews was to highlight the
good practices of the program in facilitating both reading self-concept and reading skills, only children
who had participated in the program were interviewed. They were asked to reflect on their experience and
provide feedback. Interview data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach (Patton, 2002; Teddlie
& Tashakkorie, 2009).
