Two Massachusetts mothers are suing an educational publisher over their reading products. They say the publisher promoted "deceptive" products using a method for teaching reading that has been scientifically shown not to be effective, and instead further stalls kids from learning how to read well.

Chris Peak, an investigative reporter covering education for American Public Media, joins Radio Boston to tell us more about the suit and what it means for kids in Massachusetts.

This segment aired on December 6, 2024.
