If advocates for Reading Recovery cannot accept the overwhelming scientific evidence regarding the need for strong foundational components of early reading instruction and evidence-based training of teachers in these skills, appropriate student and program evaluation measures, sustainable positive long-term outcomes and reasonable costs, then we, as educators, parents of children with reading disabilities, and taxpayers, strongly recommend that schools do not adopt the Reading Recovery program.
