US students rank 15th in reading--dead last--of all the English-speaking nations on the list provided by Allington (U. of Tennessee, Knoxville). In this text for potential researchers, he focuses on what the US needs to learn if it is to have half a chance at meeting the goals of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. He describes the characteristics of scientifically-based reading research and some of its most significant subjects, and he discusses developing instruction for struggling readers, improving classroom instruction and access to intensive instruction, expanding available instruction time, and making support available for older struggling readers.
