I know you newer educators might not be familiar with this name, but he is one of the researchers I 'grew up on'....Frank Smith. Check out, Unspeakable Acts-Unnatural Practices-- Flaws and Fallacies in "Scientific" reading Instruction. 2003 Heinemann.
It is a collection of essays, all relevant to your questions.

All right folks...there are lots of research junkies on this listserv...

I am on a mission...
First of all, does anyone know of research that states that comprehension should be taught TOGETHER with decoding skills in the early grades? (I know of Rumelhart (sp) and the theory of simultaneity...but has there been empirical
