Teach Effectively!

A blogger who identifies herself as Lisa has comments on literacy that echo other’s concerns about failing to teach students to read, but that endorse the National Institute for Learning Disabilities. The National Institute for Learning Disabilities turns up regularly among advocates of private and home schooling, especially those affiliated with Christian faith. NILD is a private consulting organization that does not have strong research support and its apparent theoretical foundations run counter to the best evidence we have about remediating Learning Disabilities. I shall comment on Lisa’s entries about the need for rigorous verification.
