Adopted May 1998 Learning to Read and Write: Developmentally Appropriate Practices for Young Children, pt. 1 A joint position of the International Reading Association (IRA) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Statement of the issues What research reveals: Rationale for the position statement Statement of the issues Why take a position on something as obviously important as children's learning to read and write? The IRA and NAEYC believe that this position statement will contribute significantly to an improvement in practice and the development of supportive educational policies. The two associations saw that a clear, concise position statement was needed at this time for several reasons. It is essential and urgent to teach children to read and write competently, enabling them to achieve today's high standards of literacy. Although the United States enjoys the highest literacy rate in its history, society now expects virtually everyone in the population to function beyond the minimum standards of literacy. Today the definition of basic proficiency in literacy calls for a fairly high standard of reading comprehension and analysis. The main reason is that literacy requirements of most jobs have increased significantly and are expected to increase further in the future. Communications that in the past were verbal (by phone or in person) now demand reading and writingmessages sent by electronic mail, Internet, or facsimile as well as print documents.

But teachers of young children, whether employed in preschools, child care programs, or elementary schools, have a unique responsibility to promote children's literacy development, based on the most current professional knowledge and research. IRA and NAEYC believe that goals and expectations for young children's achievement in reading and writing should be developmentally appropriate, that is, challenging but achievable
