No data was collected from Session I. The researcher intended to arbitrarily designate one of the two reading labs as the treatment group and the other as the comparison group. Both groups were to receive the regular curriculum of instruction as previously described in this chapter. The treatment group would be unique only in the application of the extensive reading treatment. For Session I, the text George Washington: How the Great Uniter Helped Create the United States (Lacayo, 2011) was used for the extensive reading treatment. The researcher provided the members of the treatment group with one chapter of this text to be read outside of the scheduled class meetings, over the course of each week. However, the participants in Session I did not read any substantial amount of this text. They complained either that it was too difficult or too boring to read. This led the researcher to revise his methodology for Session II.
