Here is the context that brought Jeanne Chall to the forefront of the reading debate . A Reading First school may not request AB 466 reimbursement for the reading training of any kindergarten through grade three or special education teacher ( any grade ) at a Reading First school if training occurred during the grant award period . To do this , Coles must dive into the often arcane world of experimental psychology , but he does an admirable job of explaining some of the more technical issues of the reading debate , especially the role of " phonological awareness " in reading . The READING CENTER ( http://rwc.hunter.cuny.edu/reading/index.html ) works primarily with students who are improving their English language skills through courses in the International English Language Institute , but also offers tutoring to students who may need assistance in comprehension of challenging materials in regular coursework . Software titles appealed to the wide range of abilities in a class , provided for differences in children 's learning styles , and supported activities in the reading center , other areas of the classroom , and at home . Yet research data — and , indeed , conflicting definitions of research — are at the core of the reading debate . They were divided into beginning , intermediate , and advanced levels based on the reading class in which they were currently enrolled . The reading center had books about animals ; the writing center had posters about animals , divided into land , air , water , and underground animals - - students cut pictures from magazines to complete the posters , or drew their own pictures and wrote about them . The reading center is kept neat and orderly and maintained as an interesting , inviting area for children to explore . Political overtones have characterized the reading debate for decades . The most difficult task facing policymakers in North Carolina and elsewhere is to understand that the strong feelings on both sides of the reading debate may not be truly reflective of the choices before them .
