Abstract (written by WestEd)
The level of student achievement required by No Child Left Behind has necessitated a more critical look at beginning reading programs. This report is based on a review of 62 studies of beginning reading programs. Overall, the programs that provided the strongest evidence of effectiveness in improving student achievement in reading tended to utilize the "instructional process" approach, which focuses on changing daily teaching practices. The report identifies the effectiveness of the programs in its table titled "Summary of Evidence on Beginning Reading Programs."
