Balanced Literacy Instruction Is The Only Instruction That Works and Bright Brain Thinking® Explains Why

Michael Pressley and Richard Allington's book is the best evidence-based explanation of the reading brain and will illuminate why Bright Brain Thinking® is a critical framework and perspective for achieving balanced literacy instruction.
