Abstract
A Balanced Reading Approach for Children Designed to Achieve Best Results for All (ABRA) is an evidence-based suite of interactive multimedia that engages learners in the development of core reading skills. This detailed meta-analysis presents an update on research evidence about the effectiveness of ABRA for elementary students. Offering distinct environments (or modules) for students, teachers and parents, ABRA is neither linear in use nor prescriptive of a single concept or method of teaching and learning to read. The results of the analysis provide positive evidence of the value of ABRA as a tool to promote development of early literacy skills. Includes bibliography.
