"This book would be an excellent one to use in literacy foundation courses...It is rare to find a book that contextualizes current literacy practices and policies historically. This contextualization allows current researchers and teachers to have a better understanding of various topics, and to better appreciate current circumstances in literacy research and instruction."--Diane Barone, Teachers College Record (November 2009)
