Some
of the more prominent initiatives - like the
Reading First
component of No Child Left Behind and the «
Success for All -
Reading First» program begun at Johns Hopkins in the late 1970s - involve the implementation
of a highly structured classroom framework that spells out what should be taught, how it should be taught, and for how long.
Newsstand confirmed this almost by way
of counter-example; for a long time, publishers failed to deliver the clean
reading part
of the formula, but once The Magazine showed them how it's done, all three
components were in place, and The Magazine became an obvious
success.
