The Reading Gap: Journey to Answers
A must-read for parents, teachers, and anyone interested in education, The Reading Gap: Journey to Answers is written by a former teacher who couldn't read and who later became a prominent literacy advocate. Interweaving author John Corcoran’s personal story with the current state of research, teacher training, and instruction, The Reading Gap addresses the uncomfortable truth about the scope of illiteracy and sub-literacy in the U.S., as well as the far-reaching consequences and devastating effects on our society.
“The Reading Gap is a compelling read, a pep-talk to reinvigorate educators, parents, and others who may have lost hope that their struggling reader cannot succeed. The Reading Gap shows through both hard science and personal testimony that indeed they can.”
– David A. Kilpatrick, PhD, author of Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties
