[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: The meme "Learning to read, Reading to learn"

[Tierney, Robert]

Hi Freddy
I thought Jeanne Chall was one of the key proponents of what I think was the unfortunate separation in her stages of reading.

Subject: [Reading-hall-of-fame] The meme "Learning to read, Reading to learn"

Reading Hall of Famers,

I’m talking to a group of policy folks this week—many from states where there is legislation (or legislation pending) on retention tied to third-grade reading benchmarks.  Often, as part of these mandates, the meme “Learning to read, Reading to learn” comes up.

Here’s the Google n-gram diagram for the appearance of the two phrases.  Unfortunately, I haven’t mastered the art of figuring out how to zero in on books where the two phrases are used together.

The earliest article that I’ve found is from 1961 (by a librarian writing in a Canadian veterinary journal) but the title was apparently simply used to catch readers’ attention (the assumptions that we usually associate with the phrase aren’t described).

In a 2012 chapter Marcia Invernizzi and Latisha Hayes tie the phrase to Chall’s (1983) Stages of Reading Development.  But I know that I heard this phrase long before that.

Any ideas of who or where this meme originated?
