Críticas

Reading History is a great idea-Janet Allen's strategies have won her a very large audience. I highly recommend this book." - Dennis Denenberg, Professor of Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Millersville University

Well-known literacy advocate Janet Allen has written 'a practical guide [for] improving literacy' to be used in conjunction with Joy Hakim's 11-volume A History of US....This one is chock-full of real-world methodologies designed to overcome resistance and apathy from students. (Library Journal)

Like most such books, this one is chock-full of real-world methodologies designed to overcome resistance and apathy from students who, at least as presented in the introduction, are generally ignorant and unmotivated. Suitable for textbook collections, particularly in those middle schools that use Hakim's A History of US. (Library Journal)
