Review

"This is a wonderful book. It is not only scientifically responsible, but altogether readable. I hope it will find its way into the hands and minds of every parent, educator, and policymaker in America."

Author: Marilyn Jager Adams

"Honig’s book takes a fresh, ‘roll up your sleeves, let’s solve this problem’ approach. That’s exactly what we in urban public schools need to realize success with our biggest challenge -- teaching kids to become successful and voracious readers early in their school careers."

Author: Carl A. Cohn

"Teaching Our Children to Read is an outstanding contribution to the debate in California and in the nation on optimal teaching strategies for reading." 

Author: Robert E. Slavin

"This current, practical resource offers a no-nonsense approach to the whole issue of effective reading instruction." 

Author: Staff Avon Maitland District School Board, Seafoth, Ontario Canada
