Purpose

Through its research program on Reading and Writing (Read/Write), the Institute intends to contribute to the improvement of reading and writing skills of students from kindergarten through Grade 12. The long-term outcome of this program will be an array of tools and strategies (e.g., assessments, instructional approaches) that have been documented to be effective for improving reading and writing.

Because the Institute is investing substantial funds on reading research through the Reading for Understanding Research Initiative, the Institute will not accept applications to the Read/Write program to develop reading interventions in FY-2012. The Institute will, however, accept applications to develop writing interventions.
