- Summary
- With these reports, colleagues and former students of the late Jeanne Chall, Prof. Emeritus, Harvard Univ. honor her life's work. Through theoretical analyses and practical guidelines, they address issues of reading materials, instruction, and assessment. They provide definitive research on critical contemporary issues, including the language-phonics debate-why successful practices have fallen out of favor, multicultural basal readers-why some may actually retard reading growth; and reading skills assessment techniques-why current methods may neglect a large subset of reading disabilities. This is a valuable resource for anyone involved in reading instruction or related policy decisions.
