How to improve reading achievement? There are only three things that have ever been found by research to consistently improve reading achievement Policies that support increases or improvements in these three things have the best chance of success

1. Increase the amount of instruction Amount of teaching students receive is a major determinant of learning Policies that support increased instruction (e.g., preschool, full- day kindergarten, extended school year, summer school, afterschool programs) are usually successful However, the key is academic learning time (ALT) not allotted time, so simply buying more instruction will not necessarily be successful

2. Emphasize key aspects of curriculum Time is a dosage not a variable Research finds causal connection between teaching these components and improved reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, oral reading fluency, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing) Policies that increase instruction in these components tend to lead to improvements in reading achievement

3. Quality of instruction Not all instruction is equal Some instruction is more efficient or more effective Quality of instruction affects learning, so policies aimed at improving teacher education and professional development, or aimed at providing supportive instructional materials and supervision have potential for improving achievement There are quality issues specific to the curriculum components mentioned as well as to more general quality features

Final thoughts According to the National Assessment, American schools successfully improved reading achievement for young children during the period 1992-2006 (since then it has languished) Reading achievement for middle and high school students has not risen as a result Improving the reading achievement of young students alone has not been sufficient to produce a more literate population Policies not only are needed to promote improved primary grade reading achievement, but that will support/encourage/require teachers of older students to build on this early success
