Improving Students' Reading and Behavior Skills

October 9, 2006

Effective reading and behavior strategies that intervene early enough can help improve reading and behavioral skills for students with disabilities. Yet, many children, especially those identified as having an emotional disturbance or learning disability, are identified too late to fully benefit. WCER’s Coordination, Consultation, and Evaluation (CCE) Center collaborates with the U.S. Education Department and six research centers to facilitate the K-3 Reading and Behavior Intervention Project. Of the six centers, two focus on reading, two on behavior, and two on reading and behavior. The centers demonstrate and test school-based models of effective programs and practices to serve grade K-3 students with marked difficulty learning to read, or who exhibit serious behaviors that may lead to discipline problems as they get older. The CCE Center coordinates and evaluates the activities across the six centers and disseminates outcome reports. More information is available here.
