The Death and Resurrection of a Coherent Literature Curriculum

More about the book

The book addresses the critical need for experienced educators to create rigorous literature curricula to elevate high school students' reading levels, which currently stagnate around fifth or sixth grade. It challenges education policymakers and test developers who resist assigning challenging texts, arguing that such resistance hinders the development of a coherent literature curriculum. By advocating for more demanding literary works, the book aims to enhance students' reading skills and overall educational experience.
