Description:The educational crises is, quite simply, a reading crisis. Avid readers are the children who do well in history, in science, in literature, in foreign languages, and even in math. Yet is spite of almost forty years of school reform effort, reading scores have remained stubbornly low. How can this be? Haven't we instituted state standards, curriculum frameworks, charter schools, more in-service for teachers, many tests, and a host of other innovations? Why are only five percent of our twelfth graders, year after year, scoring as advanced readers on national tests?The answer lies in recognizing the 7 toxic reading myths that permeate the curricula and culture of virtually every school in the country. The myths are so powerful, and so obdurate, that they make a joke out of every reform effort. And yet, once these myths are recognized and faced, we'll find that it's easy to turn kids into voracious readers. This book identifies the myths, discusses how they harm learning, and then gives a blueprint for how all of the adults in this country, working together, can overcome them. - Amazon.comWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
