Marzano Program for Building Academic Vocabulary: Supplemental Report of Effects on Specific Subgroups (FRL & ELL Students)

During the 2004–05 school year, an evaluation study was conducted of the Building Academic Vocabulary (BAV) program. The findings from this study, reported in the document Marzano Program for Building Academic Vocabulary: Preliminary Report of the 2004–2005 Evaluation Study (Marzano, 2005), found that students who participated in the BAV program exhibited greater ability to read and understand grade-appropriate materials in mathematics, science, and general literacy than their nonparticipating counterparts. This report addresses the findings for a subsample of students involved in the study—those classified as English language learners (ELLs) and those classified as eligible for free and reduced lunch (FRL).
