ABSTRACT

Drawing on a study of first- and fourth-grade teachers in six states, Allington concludes that what matters most is "the capacity of classroom teachers to provide expert, exemplary reading instruction" - instruction that cannot be packaged because it is responsive to individual children's needs.
