Hi all,

Barb, you are correct that there are no "National Standards". Most states 
have adopted, adapted, or developed their own set of standards.

Bryan-
In beginning reading, you can see what EFF learned from research and data 
from the field: http://eff.cls.utk.edu/assessment/read5.htm

I'd also recommend looking at some of the information available on Reading 
from other states at OVAE's Standards Warehouse: 
http://www.adultedcontentstandards.org/Source/GetStandard.asp

You may also want to post your question to the Adult Education Content 
Standards Discussion List (contentstandards at dev.nifl.gov).  Members of that 
list may be able to give you further information.

Aaron

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?

Bryan,
I hope this will help you in your search. I found this website to be
very informative and hope you will too.

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?
Bryan
