I hope that folks will use this resource. At the end of the very long article (which you may want to print before attempting to read) are several Key Resources with summaries of the key findings, e-mail addresses and snail mail addresses for further information. I particularly liked the statement from Reading Instruction That Works: In Reading Instruction That Works (1998), Michael Pressley of the University of Notre Dame writes: "The radical middle…is only radical in contrast to the extreme whole-language and phonics positions that have defined the recent debates about beginning reading instruction.…The most sensible beginning-reading curriculum should be a balance of skills development and authentic reading and writing." Stay with the long article because at the end, you are given an opportunity to respond to it. We would also like to hear your response on this list. All the Best, Meta Potts, Moderator 4-EFF List
