Five Reading Research Publications
NEA has five publications about reading developed to help NEA members, administrators, local and state policymakers, and parents. Four of the publications provide summaries of scientific research findings that support the case for complete reading programs. The publications show that there is scientific research support for the practices of effective teachers and successful teachers.
All of the publications can also be used by teachers to help take a look at their own classrooms and schools and determine whether there is room for improvement and where they might start to increase student success in reading.

Based on the Report of the National Education Association Task Force on Reading
NEA called together a task force of outstanding teachers recognized publicly for their expertise. Their advice on reading is contained in this booklet.
