How children are taught to read and how well they learn are perennially difficult issues in the United States. In this study, Gerald Coles argues that the very terms of today's arguments about learning are flawed. He urges Americans to worry about the best ways to teach reading--not a single "best way"--And about how politics, economics, and power in our unequal society affect our children's ability to read. --From publisher's description.
