When I began teaching, Routman was all the rage. A buddy of mine stated he read this each summer prior to the start of the new school year. My professors in graduate school heralded Routman. I purchased the book. I wasn't as impressed as others.
It was okay, I suppose, but I thought it was (like many educational books) shallow and full of fluff.
I tried many times to implement ideas from the text, but found that my teaching did not accommodate this style well.

This was tough for me to finish since its so long, but it's clear to me Routman has her priorities straight. Even though its a bit outdated, it still has useful ideas about whole language.
