Broken Promises: Reading Instruction in Twentieth-Century America

by Patrick Shannon

Book Overview

The book has more fire--more call to arms' gusto--than anything I've read on reading education.
Richard Abrahamson, University of Houston

Broken Promises is an important and powerful book precisely because it provides the opportunity for us all to experience the kinds of insights and construct the kinds of understandings that we need to grow professionally and to be a profession.
