    I was a RR teacher for 8 years and then got trained in Lindamood
    -Bell "LiPS".

    There is no comparison! RR teaches kids how to read and write, LiPs
    is just p.a. The book on it was a joke as well. Grab a copy of Clay's
    Becoming Literate and it has a huge reference section (Oh, and so
    does the Observation Survey!). The Lmb manual had hardly any. Heck,
    my research project had more!
    My school got rid of RR and hired a LM guru who was trained in all
    of their programs. With two RR teachers, 30 low first graders were
    at grade level by end of year, as evidenced by the DRA (L16 at my
    school).
    During the year with the LM guru, 0 kids were grade level at the end
    of the year.
    We no longer have LM at my school and this woman, who was also hired
    to give inservice classes on LM is also gone.
