Sorry, Timothy, but you have so carelessly read my post that your comment is embarrassing for someone of your stature.

First, I provide a *hyperlink* (citation) to the meta-analysis (Bowers, 2020); click the link and you will be aware of the study.

Second, you completely misrepresent my post so you have something to refute. Let me guide you to this: “First-mile reform of reading, however, is not a narrow commitment to out-of-school only, but it makes primary equity-focused out-of-school reform while also including equity-focused in-school reform as secondary but essential.”

Do better.
