Inspirational book!

After reading this book, it is easy to see why WL was rapidly becoming a grassroots movement amongst US teachers ntil the textbook publishing companies realized that they were about to loose out on a major market share. (Don't believe it, then why are the states of California and Texas mandating curriculum to teachers? California and Texas represent a lion's share of the market. So, if you can't get teachers to buy the garbage you produce, you just manipulate the machinery to have the government shove it down their throats. So what if kids are dissed in the process?) So much of what this book has to offer is nothing more than good sense. Most any teacher that has spent more than 20 minutes in a classroom with students would agree.

Another Excellent Book for Teachers!

This book provides teachers with the resources and information to help children learn to read effectively. A must for any good teacher's library.
