#1339: "Reading Reconsidered"

Wiley

Reading is the core of the Common Core. For the most part, education cannot begin without a student first learning how to read.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll talk to the co-author of the new book Reading Reconsidered, which looks at the power of reading and how it is being taught on all levels…or at least, maybe, how it should be.

We’ll also spend an academic minute finding out what type of person is more likely to be part of the grammar police.
