Review title: The wrong debate
Product review: Jeanne Chall believed the great divide among philosophers or teaching literacy were the group that believed in comprehension, and the group that believed in "coding".Actually, the thing that assures the successful acquisition of meaningful literacy for rising first-graders is the ability to make a mental image of a written one syllable word. Maria Montessori wrote this almost a century ago, and found that adequate practice printing alphabet letters in pre-school assured success in this area. Incredibly, no one has ever published a study to see if sufficient printing of alphabet letters before first-grade assures this ability. I have such a study but the establishment does not want it published. If you would like a free draft of our controlled study report in email form, please request one from me (Bob Rose)at rovarose@aol.com.
