Abstract: Section 1202 of the Elementary and Secondary 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 timeframe
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
and 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 SEA's 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.
