Section 1202 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act describes information to be included in the
annual performance report required of Reading First grantees.
Submission of the annual performance report (APR) via the data
collection site has been taking place since 2004 and will continue
to occur between October 15 and November 30 of each year. If APR
data submitted during this time frame are incomplete or inaccurate
or if re-submission of data is requested by state education
agencies (SEAs), additional data collection may occur at other
times throughout the year. The government Performance Results Act
(GPRA) report provides national -level achievement data for all
comprehension and fluency outcome measures for each year of program
implementation. The national-level information includes an average
of the percentage of proficient students in SEAs administering the
Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) Oral
Reading Fluency measure and the number of SEAs showing improvement
in proficiency rates on each SEAs comprehension measure from the
previous year to the current year. All schools are included in the
GPRA report, regardless of when schools began implementation of the
Reading First program.
This is an extension, questions
related to the special education referral rate and program
expenditures have been removed, thus lowering the overall burden
hours for this collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
