Classics in Literacy Education

Historical Perspectives for Today’s Teachers

Richard D. Robinson

There is a wealth of knowledge in past experience. Using excerpts from classic works, this book shows that what might seem today a new challenge or innovative idea may really be a reintroduction of well-established concepts or strategies. In addition to selections from eight writers’ works, you’ll find annotated resource lists and reflections to stimulate you to consider how each author’s ideas relate to your own instruction.
