Reading First is a grant to support reading in grades
Kindergarten through Third provided by the Federal Government as a program
under No Child Left Behind. Highland Park is fortunate to be in its
third year of Reading First implementation. Our students have made much
progress as readers with the help of Reading First resources and instruction. Reading First provides many
resources to Highland Park teachers and students, including: Ř Professional
Development in Scientifically Research Based Reading Instructional Practices
to all K-3 Teachers Ř A Full-Time Reading Coach
to Support High Quality Reading Instruction Ř Tutoring Before,
During and After School for Struggling Readers Ř Books, Curriculum and
Many Other Classroom and Tutoring Materials for Students and Teachers Reading First
Instruction is based upon the findings of the National Reading Panel’s
research. A parent guide to the Panel’s findings can be found at: http://www.nifl.gov/partnershipforreading/publications/reading_first2.html
