Reading Without Nonsense by Frank Smith
There is an 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. This book provides the evidence and arguments that teachers need to resist this mechanistic view; and describes how reading should not be taught.
Frank Smith has been a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, the University of Toronto, the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
