Standards-based education has destroyed reading and writing instruction. What was once an artistic endeavor has now been relegated to a checklist of isolated skills — complete steps 1, 2, and 3, and you have completed the act of reading/writing.
But no need to fret. Newcomer Trevor Bryan returns literacy instruction to its rightful place as a cross between art and science, providing teachers and their students with a wholly inclusive framework for using mood to strengthen both comprehension and craft. This book is a must-have!
