The Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children Report
In 1995 the U.S. departments of education and health and human services commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) to study the prevention of reading difficulties. A committee made up of a diverse group of respected experts in reading and related areas investigated various aspects of the problem and, in 1998, issued a report, Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children. The report was designed to translate research into advice and guidelines about what could be done in preschool through grade three to better position students for reading success in later schooling.
