Success for All gets kids reading. Why don't more schools use it?

[link removed]



Decades of research show that a school reform program called Success for All is one of the most effective ways to teach reading to kids — especially struggling students.



But Success for All has been in decline. In 2000, some 1,800 schools across the United States, United Kingdom and Mexico used the program, according to news reports at the time. Today that number is down by more than half, to just 800 schools.



Steubenville City Schools, the poor Ohio school district with stellar reading scores, has stuck with the program through all those years. But most other places haven't. Administrators from six schools and districts that have dropped Success for All pointed to a variety of reasons: teacher opposition, logistical challenges, and administrative turnover, to name a few.
