Abstract | The advent of the No Child Left Behind legislation has produced mandates that focus heavily on reading skills. Writing has a secondary role, while speaking and listening skills are almost insignificant in terms of instructional time. NCLB mandates have translated into block scheduling for reading in many schools. This can be very useful when the emphasis is on the language arts. The same scheduling can inhibit a love of reading and the acquisition of requisite skills, when instruction focuses narrowly on reading. The author suggests that the solution is not to end block scheduling, which provides structured instructional time that is helpful to some students, but to use the scheduled language arts time to focus on all of the subject's components, instead of reading only.
