The NRP Report (2000) found that independent silent reading may not be the most efficient use of instructional time.
In our study, we replicated the finding. We found that independent reading didn't contribute meaningfully to improved reading outcomes.

Over the last 5 months I have been updating my research on reading comprehension, both in terms of my methods and in terms of new studies. This process has led to me changing my position on the importance of knowledge and reading comprehension.
