Reading Recovery - Research

Research

Reading Recovery has been widely researched throughout the world (http://readingrecovery.ioe.ac.uk/reports/36.html and http://www.readingrecovery.org/research/research_intro/index.asp). Research has investigated effectiveness, cost benefits, continued progress and self-esteem.

Famous quotes containing the word research:

    “The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
    —Ron Taffel (20th century)

    “It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.”
    —Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)

    “The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)
