Abstract: The Department will conduct a first round of state personnel interviews that will document states' pre-budget cut processes for selecting instructional materials and assessments, professional development, "spill-over" to non-Reading First (RF) districts and schools, and RF influence on overall state literacy policies and programs. The second round of interviews will deepen our understanding of the Reading First program by documenting actual responses to the program budget cuts, and exploring other pertinent areas of program changes and policy impact. This study will provide more comprehensive descriptions, and ultimately analysis, of RF implementation processes at the district and school levels. Additionally, interviews will provide information on the relationship between Reading First and other state reading initiatives (including Title I).
