FCRR Reports

Florida Center for Reading Research Suspension
of Program Review

The Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) has suspended its review of reading programs because of changing priorities in our work to support reading instruction in Florida. FCRR will not expand its current list of FCRR Reports. The previously posted FCRR Reports are available here as a resource for educators.

Alphabetized Index

The Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) has established a review process for analyzing reading curricula and materials available for use in Florida. Please read the reports carefully. We have organized them such that a single report may be located under more than one category.

Guidelines for Reviewing Reading and Professional Development Programs

This section contains important information for school districts to consider when making decisions about instructional and professional development programs. School districts are encouraged to conduct their own reviews to determine whether or not reading programs are aligned with current reading research. Here you will find FCRR Guidelines for reviewing Core Reading Programs, Intervention Programs, Grades 4-12 Programs, and Professional Development Programs.

Intervention Programs for Students Retained Twice in Third Grade

Florida students who have been retained two times in third grade are in need of instruction that is more intensive, more explicit, more systematic, and more motivating than instruction they have previously received. This section provides lists of programs that have been reviewed by FCRR and may be appropriate to be implemented with these students. There are other programs that may be appropriate for these students but not yet reviewed by FCRR.
