Reading First

Part of the No Child Left Behind regulation, which requires the schools funded by Reading First money to use "scientifically-based" reading instruction. Monies have been allocated to Title I Schools for Scientifically Based Reading Research (SBRR), along with "Coaches,", who assist teachers in learning the newest SBRR for use in classrooms. Coaches analyze data to drive the instruction for each individual child in every classroom. Reading First is limited to K-3 classes, while Early Reading First money is allocated for Pre-K Materials and Coaches.
