An analysis of the fidelity of use of the Nessy Reading and Spelling Program, and the students results of those taking the Nessy Reading Target Assessment pre and post use, was conducted on data collected by Godley Elementary School, in Texas, USA. The assessments were administered by school personnel and overseen by the school RTI specialist, as part of the regular literacy instructional program on this campus. The 152 first grade and kindergarten students used Nessy independently for an average of 60 minutes per week over 6-10 weeks. The average student gain in reading grade level was 0.5 or half of school year in an average of 8 weeks. An 8 week time period is about 0.22 of this school’s academic year. Those using Nessy exceeded the expected growth of 0.22, in fact they more than doubled it.

The students using Nessy gained on average half of a grade level in reading skills, in just 6-10 weeks.
