5 Areas of ReadingListed below are the five areas of reading.
The No Child Left Behind legislation and the Reading First initiative highlighted these five areas, and explicitly mandated that they be a central part of any reading initiative being funded with federal money. Further, policy and legislation clearly indicated that these five areas of reading should be assessed regularly, and that the success or failure of any reading initiative would depend upon measurement of children’s growth in these five areas. Although writing, sight words and just-right books are not part of the NCLB mandate they are equally important to the success of a child in reading.
