Consistent Usage
In collaboration with some of the world’s leading educational researchers, the Paper Impact Team synthesized the findings of 14 studies on the efficacy of Paper. We found that habitual users—students who used Paper just three times a month or more—saw consistent academic improvement.

Every additional month as a habitual user led to an:
- 8% increase in EOY math percentile*
- 5% increase in EOY ELA percentile*
*relative to their grade-level peers in their school
