Abstract | The purpose of this study was to dive into one school district's different learning modality options during the pandemic and analyze their reading growth using the Northwest Evaluation Assessment Measures of Academic Progress (NWEA MAP) as a metric for comparison. The researcher looked at one school district's response to their community's needs and the difference between their two learning environment options. The researcher examined potential relationships and considered each program's growth in reading scores to determine if there was statistical significance when comparing this district's programs (remote and hybrid in-person) to the national reading growth average. This study also compared in-district growth between their remote and hybrid in-person programs, as well as among the subgroups of gender, and students with and without Individual Education Plans (IEPs).The study showed significance between the hybrid in-person program when compared to the nation. This district's hybrid in-person reading growth scores were higher than the national average by 1.15 RIT points with a p-value of .018. The district's hybrid in-person program also outperformed its remote counterpart by 3.51 RIT points with a p-value of .008. The subgroups of gender and students with and without an IEP in this study also proved significant as males in the remote program had 4.75 fewer RIT points of growth than their hybrid in-person peers with a p-value of .017. Results for students with IEPs, especially in the remote program, also showed significance as students without IEPs had a mean growth score of 3.07 RIT points, while students with IEPs had a RIT mean score decrease of -5.20 with a p-value of .007. Lastly, the study found a significant decrease in reading RIT score growth, specifically for students in the remote program. Students without an IEP in the remote program grew 1.66 RIT points while students with IEPs in the remote program had a RIT mean score decrease of -14.67 with a p-value of .006.Through the research and data analysis, recommendations for educators and also for future research include maintaining in-person school settings for younger students as much as possible, ensuring adequate, and appropriately trained adult support for students to facilitate engagement and accountability, and taking measures to deliver the highest quality, research based, instruction to students. Results of this study are intended to help inform members in the field of education to make data informed decisions, both in the elementary reading realm, as well as any higher education organization interested in learning more about online learning environments and reading growth.
