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 SEAÂs 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.
