Hooked on Books: Program and Proof – Kobo eBook

Daniel Fader’s ideas are still appreciated many years after his books appeared. A reviewer on Amazon recently wrote: “Daniel Fader may have been the most important education writer/teacher of the 1960s, on a par with Jonathan Kozol. . . Fader’s Hooked on Books, a program designed to help children love reading, set me on fire as an aspiring English teacher. It contains the single most profound insight into learning I ever read: ‘Skill will flourish where pleasure has been cultivated.’ That motto helped me come up with assignments that both engaged students and taught the necessary skills. Hooked on Books is a must-read for anyone who wants to teach reading effectively.”
