[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Austin ILA

[carole bloch]

I so wish I could be there too! Would be great to read/see the debates.

Sunday greetings from the beautiful but very dry and troubled outer
reaches... where a few of us are now struggling to contextualise and
counter  the Helen Abadzi (using neuroscience from people like Dehaene and
Shaywitz) 'truths' on how 'the poor'  African language speaking  children
can only learn to read by decoding automaticity... this has been taken by
some influential researchers and policy makers as the next route out of the
comprehension disaster evidence (PIRLS 2016).

Brian, I wonder if you know that one of the articles which helped me to
frame the reading for enjoyment campaign I started in 2012 was your 1996
one - I still circulate it  to many young activists in SA trying to ensure
a more meaningful future trajectory for children.
