No Quick Fix by Sean A Walmsley

No Quick Fix by Sean A Walmsley

This text suggests ways to improve literacy instruction for all children, particularly those who are at risk and often do not succeed in the classroom. It corresponds to the growing consensus among researchers and educators: that prevention of learning problems makes more sense than remediation.

Allington has served as president of both the International Reading Association and the National Reading Conference in the past. Since his classic Reading Teacher essay, Fluency: The Neglected Reading Goal, in 1983, Dick Allington has been investigating and writing about fluency. He is the author of more than 100 studies and reports on reading challenges, as well as several books, including What Really Matters for Struggling Readers (Allyn & Bacon) and Big Brother and the National Reading Curriculum: How Ideology Overtook Evidence (Heinemann). Schools that Work, Classrooms that Work (both Allyn & Bacon), and Reading to Learn: Lessons from Outstanding 4th Grade Classrooms (The Guildford Press) are among his coauthorships. Dick has worked as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, and head of federal programs.
