Title: Full of Linguistic Errors
Product review: Unfortunately, although she is widely regarded as *the* language expert in the field of 'Science-Based Reading,', Louisa Moats's new edition as as full of linguistic errors and omissions as the previous editions.While Dr. Moats knows a great deal about language, she also, unfortunately, overestimates her own linguistic knowledge, and, like the teachers she aims to school, she relies heavily on her own judgments, ideologies, hunches and guesswork about language, rather than relying on linguistic science.I've written and presented at conferences about her errors, and am not going to lay them out again here. Moats would do well to have either a real linguist, or a fact-checker, or both, edit her negligent and misleading writing.
