一个教孩子阅读的项目反而导致阅读能力下降

Reading Recovery — one of the world's most widely used reading intervention programs for young children — has taken another hit to its credibility. It has long been controversial because it's based on a theory about how people read that was disproven decades ago by cognitive scientists. A new study has found that children who received Reading Recovery had lower scores on state reading tests than children who did not receive Reading Recovery.

阅读恢复计划——世界上最广泛使用的幼儿阅读干预计划之一——的可信度又受到了打击。长期以来，它一直存在争议，因为它所依据的关于人们如何阅读的理论早在几十年前就被认知科学家所推翻。一项新的研究发现，接受“阅读恢复”的儿童在国家阅读测试中的得分低于未接受“阅读恢复”的儿童。
