On Friday, April 12th, 2019 The Global Reading Network and the Basic Education Coalition co-hosted a meeting to explore how best to distribute resources across education program components and across literacy and mathematics, to assure appropriate school support for strong learning outcomes in both discipline areas. The authors of GRN's newly published working paper, "Towards the Design and Implementation of Comprehensive Primary Grade Literacy and Numeracy Programs" presented findings from their review of the evidence base, lessons learned from comprehensive programs, and a potential research agenda during a 2-hour technical discussion.
