The Answer Sheet - Willingham: Reading Is Not a Skill--And Why This Is a Problem for the Draft National Standards on 2009-10-06
- In other words, kids who score well on reading tests are not really kids with good “reading skills.”
  
  The kids who score well on reading tests are ones who know a lot about the world—they have a lot of prior knowledge about a wide range of things--and so that whatever they are asked to read about on the test, they likely know something about it.
- Oddly enough, the new national standards actually say that. The standards documents lists “have a strong content base” as one of the things that college-ready readers tend to have.
  
  But the standards themselves don’t recommend that we ensure that students “have a strong content base” as a way to ensure that they are good readers!
