    • Abstract:
      The article provides information from an interview with several education professors about research on the reading wars, sift through state policies, and offers advice on the role of libraries in reading instruction and children's literacy. Sarah Woulfin sees the reading wars as a pendulum shifting between changing forces and ideas about the best approaches to teaching reading. Tess Prendergast acknowledges the allure of whole language for educators and librarians.
