The belief that improvement in reading instruction lies just around the corner in the form of another kit of drills,
some new basal readers, or a cabinet of technological. trickery, is based on an egregious educational fallacy.
The belief rests upon the naïve assumption that an ideal method of teaching reading exists for every child and that all
a teacher need do is find the right method or wait for the educational industry to provide. it-together, of course, with the infallible "test" that will match every child with the best. method.
