During the autumn of 2009, Knox County Schools investigated the relationship between Imagination Library students and their kindergarten peers on the Kindergarten Literacy Assessment.
They found that students in the Imagination Library program performed statistically significantly better on the Kindergarten Literacy Assessment.
In this 2012 3rd grade follow-up study, Knox County Schools found that the same Imagination Library alumni continued to perform better than their non-participating peers on TCAP/Language Proficiency tests.
