“If we wanted to make learning to read and to write as difficult as possible, fragmenting language learning into several unrelated lessons each day would be a good way to do it.”
Allington, R.L. & Cunningham, P.M. (2007). Schools that work: Where all children read and write (3rd. ed.). Boston, MA:Pearson Education, Inc.“I could not remember when the lines above Atticus’s moving finger separated into words, but I had stared at them all the evenings in my memory, listening to the news of the day, Bills To Be Enacted into Laws, the diaries of Lorenzo Dow – anything Atticus happened to be reading when I crawled into his lap every night. Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.”
