Reading First: A $6 Billion Investment to Improve the Reading Skills of Young Children
President Bush has requested increasing funds each year to ensure that states use scientifically based reading instruction and teaching methods. Unprecedented amounts of money are being put into improving the teaching of reading in our nation--more than $6 billion over six years. Clearly, this is a strong commitment toward helping all children learn to read.
Research shows, and teachers know, that children who read well in the early grades are far more successful in later years, and that those who fall behind often stay behind when it comes to academic achievement.15 Reading opens the door to learning about math, history, science, literature, geography and much more. Those students who cannot read well are much more likely to drop out of school and be limited to low-paying jobs throughout their lives. Reading is undeniably critical to success in today's society.
