Data for the study's final report will include three years of follow-up on students' reading comprehension for grades one, two and three and three years of follow-up on teachers' classroom instruction for grades one and two. These data will enable the study to examine program impacts on comprehension and instruction for an additional school year and on one year of follow-up on first grade students' decoding skills. Finally, the study's final report will explore whether the observed Reading First impacts on instructional practices are associated with observed impacts on student reading comprehension.
