I just returned this afternoon from presenting a report on Reading First at the Nebraska State Board of Education meeting. My 5-7 minute presentation ended up lasting 15 minutes, but I hope I did an adequate job of informing the State Board of how Reading First has impacted reading instrution in Bancroft-Rosalie School.
I presented test data for 3rd grade performance on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills from 2002-10 (we started Reading First in 2004-05) along with DIBELS oral reading fluency scores for that same time period. I will try to upload the charts onto this blog in the next few days.
