Chall and Adams is the right comparison, and it clarifies what this book takes on: those two largely settled the decoding questions, which left the harder integration work, connecting the evidence on language, comprehension, and writing into something educators can act on. That's the agenda Paige took up, and it's the part that determines whether the research of the last sixty years reaches students. Glad to see you make the case for it. (Paige's co-founder, so read my enthusiasm accordingly.)
Thank you for your kind words, John! My goal is that it will be relevant to all educators and ultimately lead to improved outcomes for students!
You are welcome, Paige. It's a wonderful achievement, and I hope your goals will reached rapidly!
Thanks for coming by SET and dropping a comment!
