Abstract
In 2002, the U.S. Department of Education awarded a five-year State Improvement Grant (SIG) to
the Delaware Department of Education in Dover, Delaware. This report details the baseline reading
assessment results from the Delaware Student Testing Program (DSTP) for the 2003 spring
administration. Through the use of trained teachers and the implementation of scientifically-based
research regarding the teaching of early literacy and reading skills, students with disabilities will
receive instruction aimed to improve literacy and reading skills in an inclusive educational
environment.
Description
Those who are familiar with the original report of Evaluation Results of the Delaware State Improvement
Grant: Analysis of Baseline Assessment Results will notice a few changes in this revised copy. These
changes were necessary because some of the students in grade four, six, and nine were retaking the
reading assessment from the previous year.
