University of Michigan Reading First Study

At the University of Michigan, professor Joanne Carlisle declares their RF implementation a success so far. I'm curious about the details, but like the fact that they are using subcomponents of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills as their measure. Of course, I'd like to know which ones and what the within year results look like and how the growth of each cohort looks instead of comparing one cohort with the previous ones.
