From the Paper:

"The sampling procedures and rationale for following them are as follows. The sampling procedures will involve an assessment of two classrooms of fifth grade students from two separate schools. Sampling will include students with learning disabilities as described by the research questions presented for this study. Sampling will also include a classroom of no less than 20 students not utilizing the Read 180 system or a multi-faceted approach for learning. This will enable the researcher to compare the results obtained from special needs classrooms using diverse approaches with the results obtained from classrooms using traditional approaches to learning and achievement.
