This text provides a humanistic antidote to the managed "systems" approach to reading instruction. Its theme is that reading must make sense to the learner and so must reading instruction. Revised and expanded, this edition has been restructured to provide separate (and updated) chapters on: phonics and meaningful reading; comprehension and learning; the act and range of reading; and teaching reading and "reading disabilities". The underlying learner-friendly, teacher-supportive approach that characterized the previous editions remains unchanged. Dr Smith notes that the research and debate of the past ten years, though often acrimonious, have done nothing to undermine this book's account of the basic nature of reading and of learning to read.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Reading Without Nonsense remains a groundbreaking, humanistic antidote to the managed systems approach to reading instruction. In his extensively revised fourth edition, Frank Smith brings teachers and teacher educators up to date on how reading should not be taught. It is a necessary reminder that reading and learning to read are natural activities. There is a massive assault on the independence of teachers of reading, mandated under the No Child Left Behind legislation, which regards reading as an unnatural act requiring contrived systematic instruction. Now more important than ever, Reading Without Nonsense, Fourth Edition provides the evidence and arguments that teachers need to resist this mechanistic view. As Frank Smith emphasizes, the act of reading has never changed despite all the changes in materials, procedures, and methodology proposed by people with an interest in how reading is taught. Reading Without Nonsense remains one of the most authoritative, influential, informative, and accessible texts on reading and learning to read. as well as administrators, parents, and everyone concerned with literacy and education.
