Abstract: This article reports that federal employees and their agents may have pressed several U.S. states to refashion the Reading First initiative, possibly in violation of federal law. The close oversight of the $1 billion-a-year program has allowed a handful of commercial reading programs, assessments, and consultants to reap much of that money, while others have been shut out of the competition, according to documents and confirmation by several state officials. In January 2003, Kentucky officials complained to the U.S. Department of Education after Christopher J. Doherty, the director of the federal Reading First program, told them they would have to use what is known as the DIBELS assessment to get their grant approved.
