DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

National Institutes of Health

National Institute of Child Health and

Human Development; Meeting of the

National Reading Panel

Notice is hereby given of the

Washington D.C. area meeting of the

National Reading Panel. The meeting

will be held on Monday, January 31,

2000, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The

meeting location is the National

Institutes of Health, Building 31, C

Wing-Conference Room 6, 9000

Rockville Pike, Bethesda, Maryland,

20816. The entire meeting will be open

to the public.

The National Reading Panel was

requested by Congress and created by

the Director of the National Institute of

Child Health and Human Development

in consultation with the Secretary of

Education. The Panel is studying the

effectiveness of various approaches to

teaching children how to read and

report on the best ways to apply these

findings in classrooms and at home. Its

members include prominent reading

researchers, teachers, child

development experts, leaders in

elementary and higher education, and

parents. The Chair of the Panel is Dr.

Donald N. Langenberg, Chancellor of the

University System of Maryland.

The Panel is building on the findings

presented by the National Research

Council’s Committee on the Prevention

of Reading Difficulties in Young

Children. Based on these findings and

the National Reading Panel’s own

review of the literature, the Panel will:

determine the readiness for application

in the classroom of the results of these

research studies; identify appropriate

means to rapidly disseminate this

information to facilitate effective

reading instruction in the schools; and

identify gaps in the knowledge base for

reading instruction and the best ways to

close these gaps.

The agenda for this meeting will

include discussion and final acceptance

of the reports by The National Reading

Panel. A period of time will be set aside

at approximately 3:00 PM on Monday,

January 31 for members of the public to

address the Panel and express their

views regarding the Panel’s mission.
