{"product_id":"9781607099147","title":"Leaving Johnny Behind: Overcoming Barriers to Literacy and Reclaiming At-Risk Readers","description":"In the tradition of Why Johnny Can't Read written by Rudolph Flesch in the 1950s, Leaving Johnny Behind provides a comprehensive examination of the barriers that deny children adequate literacy training. This book describes the obstacles faced by a school principal from Milwaukee's central city when he attempted to implement research-based reading practices. Upon further examination, he discovered that the reading establishment generally rejects the product of legitimate science, choosing instead to engage in a never-ending interfusion of the latest innovations, modifications, and gimmicks. This condition, Anthony Pedriana observes, has a disparate impact on poor and minorities, those who suffer from dyslexia and other forms of reading disability, and those for whom English is a second language.","brand":"R\u0026L Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179492524272,"sku":"9781607099147","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781607099147_p0.jpg?v=1763836592","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781607099147","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
