Product Info
Take a look at some of the Scholastic products aligned to meet federal guidelines for the No Child Left Behind Act and Reading First. In addition to the five essential areas of reading instruction identified by the National Reading Panel (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension), Scholastic believes that there is a sixth essential component to any successful reading program: motivation!
