So much easier for the powers that be. My daughter has APD but was lucky enough to be placed with a reading specialist from 2nd to 5th grade. She is in 8th grade now and doing fantastic. I can't imagine how much tougher it has to be for older kids. I would love the oppurtunity to speak to you about working with older adolescents. Please contact me thru my website. Thanks.

As a reading specialist working with struggling adolescent readers it is good to see that we are finally getting some interesting studies that focus on the concerns of older adolescent readers. I am concerned, however, that government sponsored inquiries might lead to yet another federally mandated "intervention" or "quick fix" to reading. Much like our current phonics debacle. anyone care to comment on this study and how it may or may not impact education policy? I am interested in what the policy implications are for this study?
