Reading First Impact Study

From the Washington Post: "Students enrolled in a $6 billion federal reading program that is at the heart of the No Child Left Behind law are not reading any better than those who don't participate, according to a U.S. government report."

The report from the Institute of Education Science, "Reading First Impact Study: Interim Report," is available online.

Background information on the Reading First Program is posted on the main Department of Education website.
