Talk:Reading Recovery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is supposed to be an encyclopedia article, but it reads far more like an advertisement. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 11:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Quite so. it reads like an advertisement, taken directly from the site. This could even be a copyvio, you never know where this sort of stuff comes from. Someone needs to clean it up, and it sure as hell aint gonna be me! Well... not until exams are over anyway. THE KING 11:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaned up

The page was not a copyvio: The webpage where it came from was explicitely public domain. BUT, it was pro-Reading Recovery. I cleaned up the following:

  • Deleted the evaluation of the method, this it came from people who make their money with Reading Recovery they don't count as NPOV. I left the link of the source in the article, so people can still access the text. I also added another link which gives a more critical account.
  • I added the names of the people behind the method.
  • Made clear that we are talking about English language reading education, I don't think the method would work to teach Chinese.
  • Made clean Reading Recovery is a trademark, and who holds it.
