The Handbook is now used as a text for future teachers at more than 60 colleges and universities. In addition, the Japanese edition introduced the concept of Sustained Silent Reading (chapter 5) to public schools there and it became the basis for more than 3,000 elementary and secondary schools adopting SSR as a regular part of the academic day. |
