Thanks, Becky. 
Does anyone else have suggestions for Bryan? There are not national standards as far as I know; do any states have standards for beginning reading?
What do the EFF standards say?

Barbara (and anyone else),

Do you have any national standards for beginning reading? You know,
things
that speak of phonetic awareness, decoding strategies, fluency levels,
etc?
