Description

"We all want the best for our children. Don't we? How, then, do we find ourselves in a nation with a large and growing population of functional illiterates? Why is such a huge proportion of youths in the juvenile justice system illiterate? Why are parents and educators alike confused and angry about how children are being taught to read? What is all the controversy about the solution to these problems -- about how to teach reading to children? Why is there any disagreement at all? What is Whole Language? What is Phonics? Which is more effective? Parents need to know, for the sake of their own children. Educators must know, for the sake of all our children." --Publisher (barnesandnoble.com)
