Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: A Must Read for Teachers and Parents Kelly Gallagher is right on the money in this book. This book should be a must read for school administrators, parents, and teachers. An intriguing look at many possible solutions to the problem of the decline of reading in American schools Reading has been on the decline in recent years, but can some of the blame be put on schools? "Readicide: How Schools are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It" is a discussion of how some modern public schools are, without malice or intent, causing a decline in the amount of children embracing the written word. Placing blame on emphasizing tests, putting kids in too deep with difficult texts, not encouraging recreational reading, and more problems, "Readicide" is an intriguing look at many possible solutions to the problem of the decline of reading in American schools. Readacide This is an excellent book for any educator, parent, or person who wants to know what the overemphasis on tests has done to our children and what we can do about it. I would highly recommend this book for teachers who are in schools that are having problems making AYP. Mr. Gallagher is a teacher who gets to the heart of the matter in terms everyone can understand. Best book ever! As a teacher who loves books and has been baffled about why my students haven't shared my passion, I have found research in Readicide that helps me understand how this comes about and ideas that will help to inspire and instruct the reluctant readers in all our classrooms. Readicide Excellent book that needs to be a must reading for all school administrators and school boards. We need to understand that teaching to the test is dumbing down our classrooms and that there are alternative approaches to success. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
