UIC-Early Reading First funding now at $10.7 M

A recent three-year grant from the US Department of Education to Jeffri Brookfield, William Teale, and Maureen Meehan established IMPACT, the third Early Reading First (ERF) project that these principal investigators have implemented in area preschool classrooms. Like other ERF projects, IMPACT is focused on developing early literacy centers of excellence, this time in the preschool classrooms of five Archdiocese of Chicago schools. Visit the ERF website to see data that show how project students significantly outscored students in comparable classrooms based on a rigorous external evaluation process.
