[NLA] Reading Research reference--short

[George E. Demetrion]

Colleagues

For those interested im reading research, folks may want to check out the
important essay acessed at the url below, by David Pearson.  With
Victoria Purcell Gates and others, Pearson is an advocate of the balanced
theory of reading.

To do an in-depth study of Pearson's work on reading theory/research,
follow the trail stemming from his home page at 
http://ed-web3.educ.msu.edu/pearson/
 
There's much information to be gleaned.

Pearson is one of the most prolific, well respected scholars of reading
research in the United States and a good deal of his work is on-line.

Also, for those who want a solid understanding of whole language reading
theory/practice, I recommend the following short piece by Constance
Weaver.
