Thanks for the Walden recommendation. On my list to read. https://www.npr.org/programs/all-things-considered/ Did you see this new study about Reading Recovery? How can people question RR efficacy without exploring what classroom instruction/ intervention RR students received after their RR lessons concluded? Post RR support is stressed in RR training. I really think the decision to discontinue RR is driven by budget shortages.
I also question this. It is one study that hasn't even been peer reviewed yet. And if the results are valid, how does it fit within the body of research that largely supports RR?

What might be driving this trend against more authentic and student-centered practices is money, but also ideology and power. See Alfie Kohn's recent post: https://www.alfiekohn.org/blogs/conservatives-and-pedagogy/
