The Majority of Teachers Did Not Have a Clear Understanding of the Reading Instruction Approaches Most Aligned with Their State Standards

• Specifically, most teachers thought standards emphasized use of texts written at students' individual reading levels and organizing instruction around reading skills, despite the fact that most state standards emphasize using grade-level texts of appropriate complexity and organizing instruction around texts.
• Teachers' beliefs about which approaches were aligned with their standards were significantly related to the approaches and reading materials they used in the classroom.
• Teachers' policy environment and demographics of the students they taught also played a role in the instructional approaches they used.
