The Literacy Hoax: The Decline of Reading, Writing, and Learning in the Public Schools and What We Can Do About It - Hardcover
Synopsis
Early in his survey of certain dismal aspects of American education, Mr. Copperman observes that “children tend to learn what they are taught. Conversely, . . . children tend not to learn what they are not taught.” This seemingly obvious notion is the basis of his whole testy, sensible, well documented diatribe. As president of the Institute of Reading Development in San Francisco, Mr. Copperman has for years been dealing with clients, some at the graduate-school level, whose disabilities in reading and writing arise from what they were not taught. He maintains that a school system which does not teach needs correction. He proposes steps to insure such correction.
