ED Budget Department Solicits Proposals for Reading Comprehension Research In keeping with the Bush administration's goal of using evidence-based research to enhance educational practices in the nation's schools, the U.S. Department of Education is requesting applications to conduct studies on reading comprehension and how it is taught and assessed. "Ultimately, what we want to do with this program is lay a scientific framework for teaching and learning methods by supporting research on reading comprehension that could improve students' academic achievement," said Grover "Russ" Whitehurst, U.S. assistant secretary for the Office of Educational Research and Improvement. "We need more research in this area. Although we know a great deal about how children learn the alphabetic code, we know far less about how children read and learn from subject matter texts in areas such as science and history." With this in mind, the Program of Research on Reading Comprehension is designed to expand scientific knowledge of how students develop proficient reading comprehension, how it is most effectively taught, and how it can be assessed.

Department Awards Grants for Research on Reading Comprehension FOR RELEASE: The U.S. Department of Education has awarded six grants under the Program for Research on Reading Comprehension (PRRC) to support studies designed to provide a scientific foundation for improving reading instruction. "For the past 10 years, our national assessment of educational progress has shown that significant numbers of children are unable to understand what they read at a proficient level," said U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige. âWe must do better if all children are to get the world class education they deserve. That is why our plans call for a significant investment in the new Program of Research on Reading Comprehension to be carried out by the department's Office of Educational Research and Improvement." "The challenge is to establish a program of research that will answer questions about reading comprehension in a way that is translatable into practice," said Assistant Secretary for Educational Research and Improvement Grover "Russ" Whitehurst. "I am pleased that new PRRC grantees can begin the long-term work needed to meet this challenge."

Consider designing a computer system that can take the following third grade reading comprehension exam. How Maple Syrup is Made Maple syrup comes from sugar maple trees. At one time, maple syrup was used to make sugar. This is why the tree is called a "sugar" maple tree. Sugar maple trees make sap. Farmers collect the sap. The best time to collect sap is in February and March. The nights must be cold and the days warm. The farmer drills a few small holes in each tree. He puts a spout in each hole. Then he hangs a bucket on the end of each spout. The bucket has a cover to keep rain and snow out. The sap drips into the bucket. About 10 gallons of sap come from each hole. 1. Who collects maple sap? (Farmers)
