Book Reviews of Reading Without Nonsense
Book Review: Based on Fallacy that reading IS natural!
Summary: 2 Stars
Spelling and reading have only been around for about 5000 years. Language is innate because it has been around for 30,000 to 40,000 years. Spelling and reading aren't natural. Ask any dyslexic. If we treat all children as if the act of reading is natural and they'll just 'soak' it up... then we are dooming 15-20% of them to failure. Both basal and whole language programs FAIL these children. Wake up and teach them, please.
