15. Reading Instruction "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer”
Research Findings
"the rich get richer and the poor get poorer”
Early reading deficit 
dislike reading 
less reading 
less learning from reading
lack of vocabulary & background knowledge
The "Matthew Effect" refers to the idea that in reading (as in other areas of life), the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
When children fail at early reading and writing, they begin to dislike reading. They read less than their classmates who are stronger readers. And when children with disabilities do not receive adequate remediation, they read less – and learn less from reading - than non-disabled children.
As a consequence, they do not gain vocabulary, background knowledge, and information about how reading material is structured. In short, the word-rich get richer, while the word-poor get poorer.
