Spoiler Alert: For some children, there is little or no joy in reading. Here’s why.
The joy of reading is predicated upon the assumption that the person can read. According to the United States Department of Education, at the moment there are 10 million American students who are illiterate. For them, reading is not joyful, but difficult-to-impossible.
This is a problem for which we have had a proven solution since the late 1960’s. The U.S. Office of Education conducted a 1.2 billion dollar study to compare 16 educational methods to see which ones taught reading effectively. One method far outpaced every other. The study was replicated over a 10-year period with the same results each time.
The Office of Education was not happy with the results so they attempted to bury them. But Dr. Doug Greer of Columbia University got hold of a copy and made the results public. Dr. Kathy Watkins then wrote a monogram called “What Works” that was published by The Cambridge Centre for Behavioral Studies.
Despite its success, the method has never been adopted by teacher training institutions, so it is almost never taught to teachers. The result is that despite their teacher’s best efforts, 35% of primary school children end the primary grades not having learned to read. We certainly cannot blame their teachers if we fail to train them in a method that finished first in every category in the largest educational research study ever done.
Let’s bring more joy to reading by giving our teachers effective tools.
