Intervention Summary

Web-Based Intelligent Tutoring for the Structure Strategy (ITSS) is a web-based program that aims to improve students' comprehension of factual (nonfiction) text. ITSS includes several components, such as lessons that model how to use the structure of the factual text to improve understanding and recall, and practice exercises with immediate feedback. ITSS is designed for students in grades K-8 and is typically used during class to supplement the English language arts curriculum.

Data Sample by Population

These charts show the characteristics of the student populations studied. When assessing programs, you may want to prioritize interventions that yielded success in a similar demographic environment as your school or district.

The subgroup population data as studied here are not available. That means that while this study may work well for your setting, we cannot say based on the published study and results from our system’s reading of that study what the school/district subgroup characteristics were when evaluated here.
