Honig wrote a book called “Teaching Our Children to Read”. From Amazon’s book review:
“Bill Honig has written a balanced, practical, and readable summary of research on reading that should be of enormous help to educators, policymakers, and anyone else concerned with children. Teaching Our Children to Read supports neither pure forms of whole language nor old-fashioned phonics, but makes a compelling case for systematic teaching of phonics in the context of meaningful text. The book then spells out the programmatic and practical consequences of the research on reading.It is an oustanding contribution to the debate in California and in the nation on optimal teaching strategies for reading.”- Robert Slavin, Center for Research on the Education of Students Placed at Risk Johns Hopkins University
