What Really Matters for Struggling Readers: Designing Research-Based Programs (2nd Edition),   ISBN:9780205443246

Customer Rating: 

Coming from the art classroom, a strong reading philosophy is something I did not have. My principal suggested this book to me as the most current, paramount source on reading and strategies. He couldn't have been more correct. Richard Allington says in explicitly simple terms what readers truly need. He's got the research to back it up, as well. This book is a very easy and engaging read.

Customer Rating: 

I recently had the opportunity to hear this man rant in the most unprofessional and bitter speech I have ever heard. It was too late for me...I had already purchased several of his books. They immediately went into the garbage where they belong! Teaching is my passion. I cherish the opportunity to work with every child. I was sad that this man represents teaching to many. Please consider purchasing books that are written from an educator's heart supported with sound research. Yes we all know that children should spend time reading. What about providing them with sound instruction? This is not something this man supports.
