Physical Description: Ix, 316 pages: illustrations; 23 cm

Summary: "This long-overdue anthology ranges from Yetta Goodman's first article, about her own daughter's early spelling, to her most recent, a previously unpublished piece about turn-of-the-century educator Lucy Sprague Mitchell and the lives of female educators in general. Goodman is widely known throughout North America for her work as a writer, researcher, teacher, and speaker, and her career and writing have reflected - indeed often spearheaded - the concerns of holistic educators for decades. Miscue analysis, print awareness, kid watching, whole language: Yetta Goodman's name leaps to mind in connection with all of these topics, and they are all represented here.
