Rethinking the Approach to Solving America’s Literacy Challenge
Abstract
Our attempts to solve this country’s literacy challenge through traditional educational channels have experienced and continue to experience success, sometimes dramatic and sometimes less so, but always requiring a master teacher and time—often a lot of time. What we haven’t done is try to approach the challenge from a different angle. This article is written to introduce a new, innovative approach to this long-standing problem, an approach that can be used by experienced and inexperienced teachers and even parents who wish to help their own children who struggle with literacy, guaranteeing fidelity to a model regardless of the facilitator or his/her personal level of training.
