Excerpt:
"Deborah Meier's critique of reading tests begins with what the majority of tests ignore - that is, a definition of reading. Her well formulated viewpoint about reading, and learning to read, enable her to direct critical attention to major issues and thus not to get caught up (as the tests do themselves) in the bits and pieces of reading. It is this quality that makes her review much more than a complaint."
