MCPER has launched two new institutes, the Reading Institute and the Response to Intervention Institute, to reflect our ongoing work in these areas. The Reading Institute is directed by Dr. Sharon Vaughn, who recently published a chapter on connecting reading research to practice entitled “Research on Students With Reading Disabilities,” which appears in Bringing Reading Research to Life, edited by Margaret McKeown and Linda Kucan. The Response to Intervention Institute, directed by Dr. Pamela Bell, includes our technical assistance projects that support the implementation of response to intervention in Texas and the nation.
