The goal of the project was to implement small-group, skills-based literacy instruction in its elementary schools. Former Iowa Reading Research Center Director Dr. Deborah K. Reed provided professional learning on small-group, skills-based literacy instruction and a 21-day phase-in model. The Iowa Reading Research Center analyzed student test data to determine the effectiveness of the small-group, skills-based literacy instruction delivered by teachers.
