Beyond Research: Improving How We Improve Reading
To garner the literacy levels necessary for a post-modern society to prosper, reading programs must match effective reading pedagogy. No Child Left Behind of 2001 (NCLB) mandated reading improvement, and Reading First provides funding to implement research-based programs. We must go beyond scientifically based research to consider implementation of reading programs identified within the context of NCLB. Developing shared understanding of reading pedagogy is as essential as scientifically based reading research if all children are to read by the third grade.
