Anna Ends the Reading Wars: A Call To Lower the Legal Reading Age.
Wuori, Dan
Talking Points, v10 n2 p9-10 Apr-May 1999
Discusses the author's experience as a kindergarten teacher with students who have had a wide range of literacy within the home. Notes how some parents "misuse" the "Hooked on Phonics" program and their children gain no benefit from it. Proposes that educators lower "the legal reading age," providing all children--even the youngest ones--with literate lives and wonderful stories. (SG)
