Teaching reading isn't an "either/or" situation of phonics versus whole language. Rather, it's both, with the essential added ingredient of skills training. Well-documented evidence supports this balanced approach, and now this new book offers the guidelines you need to make sure all kids become automatic readers. Prominent educator Bill Honig explains why just giving students high-quality reading matter and encouraging a love for reading isn't enough: Students need a comprehensive, organized skills development program if they are to read well enough to understand the world around them.
