Misreading the Reading Wars Again (and Again)
Hard Words: Why aren’t kids being taught to read?
I Told You So! The Misinterpretation and Misuse of The National Reading Panel Report, Joanne Yatvin

*Clarification on who was on the NRP:
Out of the 15 people appointed, nine were reading researchers, two were university administrators with no background in reading research or practice, one was a teacher- educator, one a certified public accountant (and parent), one was a middle school teacher, and one an elementary principal (me). When one researcher resigned after the first panel meeting, the NICHD declined my request that he be replaced by an elementary-level teacher and left that position unfilled. As a result, the panel included no teacher of early reading instruction. [emphasis added]
