Readings in Reading Instruction: Its History, Theory, and Development
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I was assigned to read this book for one of my education grad classes. There have been many books I've resold once the class was completed; this one, however, is a keeper! This was an amazing book. Anyone interested in education should find this a fascinating read. Those of us who believe students deserve better instruction will be amazed how many top-notch researchers came to similar conclusions 100 years earlier. Sometimes the accounts could be frustrating when reading how little has changed regardless of the quality research that has been in existence. When strong and blatantly obvious research supports that students perform better in student-centered classes rather than teacher-centered, lecture-based classes, why is it that so many schools (especially middle and secondary) still operated in the outdated model? I highly recommend this book to anyone who still has hope for improving the future of our children's education.
