Au, Kathryn
Reading Teacher, v54 n8 p758-60 May 2001
Notes that a major issue in literacy instruction today is whether commercial reading programs emphasizing phonemic awareness and phonics are more effective than teacher-designed programs that focus on literature-based reading and process writing with integrated skill instruction. Reviews two books that address this controversy. Presents seven additional books about writers' workshop, reading comprehension instruction, children's literature, and storytelling. (SG)
