Binding: Paper
In America today, 43 percent of our children fall below grade
level in reading. In her meticulously researched and
groundbreaking work, Diane McGuinness faults outmoded reading
systems for this crisis -- and provides the answers we need to
give our children the reading skills they need. Drawing on
twenty-five years of cutting-edge research, Dr. McGuinness
presents bold new "phoneme awareness" programs that overcome the
tremendous shortcomings of other systems by focusing on the
crucial need to understand and hear reliably the sounds of a
language before learning to read. Maintaining that any child can
be taught to read fluently if given proper instruction, she
dramatically reveals how dyslexia and behavior problems such as
ADD stem not from neurological disorders but from flawed methods
of reading instruction. With invaluable information on remedial
reading programs that can correct various ineffective reading
strategies, this book is a must for concerned parents, teachers,
and others who want to make a difference.
