What does it truly mean to learn to read — and why do so many people never quite manage it? Herbert Kohl's Reading, How To. is a groundbreaking work in literacy education that argues passionately and practically for a radical rethinking of how reading is taught. Kohl, a celebrated educator and classroom reformer, presents a rich, hands-on guide that instructs parents, teachers, and learners themselves on the mechanics and the deeper meaning of reading acquisition — dismantling the jargon of academia to speak plainly and powerfully to anyone who cares about literacy. The book's clarity and directness earned it the now-legendary endorsement from educational philosopher John Holt, who declared that no one need write any more books about reading. Kohl's work sits at the intersection of progressive pedagogy and social justice, reflecting his lifelong conviction that literacy is not merely a skill but a tool of empowerment and self-determination. His style is accessible yet intellectually rigorous, drawing on years of hands-on classroom experience to challenge the failures of institutional education. For anyone who has ever wondered why so many children fall through the cracks of conventional schooling, Reading, How To. offers both a diagnosis and a remedy — one that remains as urgently relevant today as when it was first written.
