Theology - Eschatology: Learning to Read

Frank Smith (Insult to Intelligence: The Bureaucratic Invasion of Our Classrooms) says that authors teach children to read: “Not just any authors, but the authors of the stories that children love to read, that children often know by heart before they begin to read the story.  This prior knowledge or strong expectation of how the story will develop is the key to learning to read.”
