For over two years, this National Reading Panel (NRP) reviewed research-based knowledge on reading instruction. On April 13, 2000, the NRP concluded its work and presented it at a hearing before the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education.
