Understanding and Implementing Reading First

As a teacher, you have long recognized the importance of reading. Now, thanks to the Reading First initiative of President Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act, reading instruction has taken center stage in the national conversation about education. This means more visibility for a subject that you have always cared about, but it may spell some changes in your own classroom as you tailor your reading instruction to new standards or simply adjust your lessons to follow fresh research findings. Here, you’ll find out more about Reading First — plus how to align your curriculum to the country’s new model of reading success.
