Much cut....................................................
Thanks for the great post.  We use RR at our school and the reading 
specialists think it is very good.  I think there were studies done that 
showed RR to be very effective.  My post on Marie Clay was cut (by me) 
and some of it showed some of the studies conducted.  If there is 
interest I could post the entire thing.
