Description

Reading Without Nonsense remains a groundbreaking, humanistic antidote to the managed ""systems"" approach to reading instruction.

In his extensively revised fourth edition, Frank Smith brings teachers and teacher educators up to date on how reading should not be taught.

It is a necessary reminder that reading and learning to read are natural activities.

There is a massive assault on the independence of teachers of reading, mandated under the No Child Left Behind legislation, which regards reading as an unnatural act requiring contrived systematic instruction.

Now more important than ever, ""Reading Without Nonsense, Fourth Edition"" provides the evidence and arguments that teachers need to resist this mechanistic view.

As Frank Smith emphasizes, the act of reading has never changed despite all the changes in materials, procedures, and methodology proposed by people with an interest in how reading is taught. ""Reading Without Nonsense"" remains one of the most authoritative, influential, informative, and accessible texts on reading and learning to read.

This bestseller is popular with classroom teachers and university professors as well as administrators, parents, and everyone concerned with literacy and education.
