Vermont's 2003-2004 Reading First
Federal Application
Vermont’s approved Reading First application enabled the state to receive $2.2 million
for the first year of a multi-year federal grant to improve early elementary instruction
and student achievement in reading. Under the Reading First program, the state could
receive a total of more than $14 million over six years to support implementation
of comprehensive, high-quality, research-based reading programs to ensure that all
kindergarten through grade-three (K-3) students are reading at or above grade level.
The state has invested the bulk of funds in competitive subgrants to eligible supervisory
unions/districts that demonstrate intense need (as defined by high-poverty and low-student
achievement in early reading) and a readiness for change. NOTE: Appendices C (staff resumes) and D (technical specifications of required assessments)
are not included in the PDF file but may be obtained by contacting Ed Haggett at
(802) 828-5400 or ed.haggett@state.vt.us.
For more information about the Reading First program, contact Kerry Garber, Director, Independent & Federal Programs at (802) 828-3150. |
