Krashen, Stephen – Phi Delta Kappan, 2005

Many studies show "no difference" between in-school free reading and traditional instruction, but there are very few negative studies, and many positive studies.

Krashen, Stephen – Phi Delta Kappan, 1999

Baker, Keith – Phi Delta Kappan, 1999
Meier and Krashen, both employed in California's education system, do an injustice to students in rehashing an already settled battle. Fed up with two decades of failure, California voters replaced bilingual education with structured English immersion. Meier and Krashen offer no suggestions for coping with Proposition 227.
