These findings are based primarily on interviews with individuals who have been active in state reading policy. The overall purposes of the research were to identify key organizations and individuals involved in shaping state reading policy; track recent policy activities and developments related to reading; consider beliefs about reading achievement, pedagogy, standards, and assessment; and measure the perceived influence of applying various models of policymaking to describe and explain the reading policy processes that we observed within and across the states. Other states examined in this study are: Alabama, California, Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Texas and Utah.
