Summary: Whole language at its worse.
Comment: I can't imagine teaching at risk children with this view of the world of real reading research. Texas and California were unmitigated whole language disastors, not that Mr. Allington and his crew will ever own up.

Rating: 5
Summary: This is not a "Who Shot JFK Conspiracy" book...to many facts
Comment: This is not a "Who Shot JFK Conspiracy" book...too many facts! Is it possible that we are being purposefully misled in the area of early reading?
Are publishers so driven by greed?
Are politicians so easily led?
Are so-called researchers so complacent that they quote and depend on research that they haven't verified and validated?
Are educators so shallow, lazy, and insecure that they only read the dummied-down research summaries or worse...just buy the prepackaged, one-size-fits-all programs that will magically teach all children to read?

Apparently most of the answers to these questions are the same...yes.

Educators- don't spend another dime in early reading curriculum or hire another early reading consultant without reading (and considering) Allington's book.
