The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001  

No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is built on four principles:
  • Increased accountability for States, school districts, and schools;
  • Greater choice for parents and students, particularly those attending low-performing schools;
  • More flexibility for States and local educational agencies (LEAs) in the use of Federal education dollars; and
  • A stronger emphasis on reading, especially for our youngest children.

Reading First Initiative
 
With its focus on research-based instruction and rigorous professional development for teachers, Reading First is the centerpiece program of No Child Left Behind.

The goal of Reading First is to ensure all children can read at the third-grade level by the end of grade 3. It is designed to do so by creating scientifically-based reading programs for children in grades K through 3.
