The Amazonía Lee program is a reading intervention that aims to improve the reading skills of children in the early primary grades. The program was funded by U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to be implemented in two departments in the Amazon region of Peru: Ucayali and San Martín. Mathematica Policy Research was contracted by USAID to conduct an impact evaluation of the Amazonia Lee program. We partnered with the Grupo de Análisis para el Desarrollo (GRADE) as our local research and data collection partner to conduct a randomized control trial to rigorously estimate the impacts of Amazonía Lee. We collected three rounds of survey data from a sample of program and control schools in each region. Mathematica cleaned the raw survey data collected by GRADE and produced data files for use in the final analysis. The cleaned survey data in these files are part of the deliverables of the Amazonía Lee evaluation. The main data sources for the impact evaluation are student reading assessments, classroom observations, teacher surveys, and school infrastructure surveys. Using the instruments we designed as part of the impact evaluation, we collected baseline data from students attending first grade in 2014, the original first grade cohort targeted by the program. However, because the intervention was not implemented in 2014 as originally planned, in coordination with USAID and other evaluation stakeholders, we modified the evaluation design to target the cohort of first graders enrolled in the study schools in 2015. We then collected baseline student assessment and teacher data for first grade in 2015. This dataset contains baseline child data collected in San Martin in 2015.
