Reading First

Note: The due date for the request for applications has passed. This page is for reference and administration of funding.

Reading First is a federal program with the purpose of ensuring that all children in America learn to read well by the end of third grade. California's approved plan accomplishes this purpose by providing subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs) to implement fully the state-adopted reading program in kindergarten through grade three and to provide professional development in reading to kindergarten through grade twelve special education teachers.
