Question

A study of reading comprehension in children compared three methods of instruction. The three methods of instruction are called Basal, DRTA, and Strategies. Basal is the traditional method of teaching, while DRTA and Strategies are two innovative methods based on similar theoretical considerations. The READING data set includes three response variables that the new methods were designed to improve. Analyze these variables using ANOVA methods. Be sure to include multiple comparisons or contrasts as needed. Write a report summarizing your findings.
