Looking Beyond the Reading First Controversy

Now that you've digested my Layman's Guide to Reading First you're going to want to take a look at Shep Barbash's Looking Beyond the Reading First Controversy in Education Next.

Shep does a good job describing the scandal (or lack thereof) aspect of Reading First and does some solid reporting on the data coming back from the states that tried to implement the program with fidelity.

Full Disclosure: I helped Shep analyze the state data to make sure it was being reported accurately.
