We describe three sample research studies to illustrate mixed-methods designs and contributions.

Initial development of the intervention began in the 1980s with individual studies, each focused on one part of the reading process (e.g., decoding, vocabulary, comprehension). The quantitative results of these studies showed significant differences between the experimental and the control group or between baseline and after-instruction conditions. In 2004, an opportunity arose to integrate the empirically validated components within a whole reading program and to have that program independently evaluated. Several scaling-up efforts have resulted. The lessons learned and the challenges inherent in scaling up an intervention are shared.
