Research studies suggest that we really do have a good idea of how to accelerate reading development of the instructionally needy students in our schools. The problem: Most schools provide nothing like the interventions that were offered in these studies. (Allington, 2009) In Allington's What Really Matters in RtI, he actually lists the programs that are supported by research....and the ones that aren't. Among the ones that have NO independent research to support them: Breakthrough to Literacy, Carbo Reading Styles, SuccessMaker Reading, Soar to Success, Direct Instruction...among lots of others that I see in many schools. Hope your reading program isn't on that list!
