"The information is well organized and easy to comprehend....the ideas, issues, and reading research challenges presented in the book will truly be of interest to a wide-reading public....Sweet and Anderson have produced a book that is insightful and thought provoking, compelling the reader to become involved in the search for answers to complex literacy questions and in the ensuing challenges evoked by knowing what we must do to develop a literate nation. Everyone involved in education or concerned about the improvement of instructional practices will find this book informative and inspiring."
