In Pursuit of an Illusion: The Flawed Search for a Perfect Method.
Duffy, Gerald G.; Hoffman, James V.
Reading Teacher, v53 n1 p10-16 Sep 1999
Argues that pursuing the nonexistent "perfect method" for teaching reading to all children distracts from the real key to improving reading instruction: developing teachers who know a variety of methods and approaches and thoughtfully orchestrate them according to their students' needs. Suggests what teachers, policy makers, researchers, and teacher educators can do. (SR)
