MAPLE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL's reading instruction utilizes the Reading
First reading program. The No Child Left Behind Act, signed
into law by President George W. Bush on January 8, 2002, established
Reading First as a new, high-quality evidence-based program for the
students of America. The Reading First initiative builds on
the findings of years of scientific research, which, at the request of
Congress, were compiled by the National Reading Panel. Ensuring
that more children receive effective reading instruction in the early
grades is of critical importance to the President and the nation.
Reading First is a focused nationwide effort to enable all students to become successful early readers. Funds are dedicated to help states and local school districts eliminate the reading deficit by establishing high-quality, comprehensive reading instruction in kindergarten through grade 3. Building on a solid foundation of research, the program is designed to select, implement, and provide professional development for teachers using scientifically based reading programs, and to ensure accountability through ongoing, valid and reliable screening, diagnostic, and classroom-based assessments.
