Uniting the Science of Reading and Balanced Literacy with Social Justice

by Christine Woodcock

Chances are, if you’re picking up this book, it is because you are a dedicated teacher who knows that something is amiss in our literacy education. I felt it, too, and I offer this book as a practical guide to my own journey in attempting to unite all of the feuding. Presumably, we all get into teaching because we want to make a sincere difference in the world, and in the lives of the students we educate. This book honors that passion, while making tactical, realistic sense out of the unnecessary fights that occur between proponents of the Science of Reading and Balanced Literacy.
