[Reading-hall-of-fame] [Fwd: Bush's $6B Reading Program Failed]

Fri May 2 15:32:42 BST 2008

In rereading what I just sent I found an error that I want to correct. The
sentence I should have written is as follows: With the testing-evaluation
emphasis on speed and not on COMPREHENSION, can we not assume that reading
reinstruction also echoed this emphasis?

Finally the Reading First Emperor is seen as naked and forlorn. The neocons
are already calling it a bad study but it was the DOE's own study and they
apprantly forgot to suppress it. Statements by Kennedy and Miller ar finally
disowning the Reading program and blaming it on Bush's cronyiwm. Now is the
time for all of us to renew of our efforts to expose the terrible things
being done to literacy education in the name of reading first. I didn't see
a single statement in any of these press reports from IRA or other
professional organiztions.
