What it is and What it isnt
What it is

• The New York State Reading First Status Report
  System was primarily created to record the number
  and type of professional development and
  technical assistance services provided to
  schools, districts, and regions that support the
  implementation of Reading First programs.
• In addition, the system provides a mechanism to
  collect assessment data (i.e., DIBELS) as well as
  to document the status of Reading First
  implementation.

program) being studied.
