Editorials

Susan Toscano

"Makes a profound, positive impact on the literacy of a whole school population."

The Educational Forum: Kappa Delta Pi

"An excellent contribution to education. Any principal or superintendent who could select only one program to resolve a ‘failing’ school’s problems would be wise to choose this book. It is research based, definitive, and practical, as well as reasonably easy to implement. Furthermore, it should produce immediate and long-lasting results."

The Hindu

"The most important assumption . . . is that every child can learn. The book . . . should certainly find a place in all school libraries and the programs tried out especially by schools meant for the economically backward."

CHOICE, 2001 - P.M. Socoski

"One Million Children chronicles [reading] programs, giving the reader probably the best single-volume overview of 'Success For All.' "
