New York’s DOE “truth squad” could learn a thing or two from Reid Lyon. Find an article about the imminent demise of Reading First, scroll down to the reader comments, and there he is. And here. Over here too. More? Try this.
I have, however, found at least one stone that Reid and his brother-in-arms, Patrick Riccards (aka Eduflack) seem to have left unturned. On Edweek’s Curriculum Matters blog, Kathleen Kennedy Manzo writes, “I’m no researcher, and I admit that I could use a bit of tutoring, or more coffee, to absorb the findings of many of the research studies I read, but I haven’t really seen any rigorous evidence that Reading First is working overall.”
Get busy, gentlemen.
