Literacy at the crossroads : crucial talk about reading, writing, and other teaching dilemmas

Description

Literacy at the Crossroads must be read by anyone concerned about the current state of reading and writing instruction in America. Routman asserts that teachers can no longer remain silent as the campaign for "back to basics" teaching grows stronger. So much of the criticism is based on misconceptions about what constitutes good teaching - here is a book that clarifies issues, offers suggestions, and provides the impetus necessary to make a difference.
