On Literacy and Its Teaching: Issues in English Education (S U N Y SERIES, LITERACY, CULTURE, AND LEARNING)

"I like this book most for its attempt to link professional concerns, research and theory. It brings us beyond simplistic dichotomies, skills-based approaches to evaluation, testing, teaching, and knowing. All teachers, but particularly pre-service teachers, should be made aware of these complexities." -- Susan Hynds, Syracuse University

"This is an excellent text. It does not duplicate the things-to-do-for-Monday strand, which we have all too much of, but rather shows that what we know and believe determine what we do. The essays represent the best thinking in English Education. The approach is exactly right." -- Thomas McCracken, Youngstown University
