[Shannon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some useful parts and enlightening thoughts. Some aggressive instances as well that seemed somewhat ego driven. Overall, it is great to know that many have been working toward true whole language literacy that respects and motivates students, teachers, families and institutions toward positive transformation.
