Abstract
This study, through action research, was established to determine teachers' perspectives of the literature-based guidelines necessary to establish and maintain an effective reading program, and to determine how a school district can provide staff development and other strategies to support and encourage teachers to improve their skills in delivering reading instruction. Reading is the fundamental skill that will enable all children to succeed in future school years and into adulthood. The leadership of schools must establish an effective reading program for the early elementary grades in order to experience students' success over time.
