In this critique, race is centralized to draw attention to the role it plays in the complex evolution of response to intervention, past and present. I use a critical race theory analytical lens to focus on how the dominant narrative serves as a framework within institutional and political structures in support of the approach. A brief overview of anti-discrimination laws and policies is followed by several historical narratives that are used to convey the intersecting nature of early reading and special education research. The body of research is employed to articulate the goals and purpose of the intervention, sans a clear commitment to addressing racial disproportionality. This critique particularly exposes how response to intervention has neither improved reading achievement nor curtailed racial disproportionality, and emphasizes that reading research is complicit in the reproduction of racial inequality in education. I conclude with a call to action.

种族、对干预的反应和阅读研究

在这种批评中，种族被集中起来以引起人们对它在过去和现在对干预的复杂演变中所扮演的角色的关注。我使用批判种族理论分析镜头来关注主导叙事如何作为制度和政治结构中的框架来支持该方法。反歧视法律和政策的简要概述之后是一些历史叙述，用于传达早期阅读和特殊教育研究的交叉性质。研究主体用于阐明干预的目标和目的，但没有明确承诺解决种族不成比例问题。这种批评特别揭示了对干预的反应如何既没有提高阅读成绩也没有减少种族不成比例，并强调阅读研究是教育中种族不平等再生产的同谋。我以行动呼吁结束。
