""In the light of current concerns over the achievement gaps, Wolter's work serves as a powerful wake up call for all of us who are troubled with problematic literacy practices and hope to rethink the ways we see and treat our young students and the systems that perpetuate these practices. Throughout the book, there is ample space given for reflection and deep thought about how things are done in our education system in treating early struggling readers. Overall, the book calls for change and hope, and at the same time offers inspirational stories from real cases that are eye-opening and insightful."" -- ""Journal of Language and Literacy Education"" The tendency to focus on what is wrong with students who do not meet grade expectations in literacy is amajor flaw in the current educational system and one that must be stopped.
