About this product

Product Information

A must-read for parents and teachers, this major bestseller reveals how cultural literacy is the hidden key to effective education and presents 5000 facts that every literate American should know. In this forceful manifesto Professor E. D. Hirsch, Jr., argues that children in the United States are being deprived of the basic knowledge that would enable them to function in contemporary society. They lack cultural literacy- a grasp of background information that writers and speakers assume their audience already has. Even if a student has a basic competence in the English language, he or she has little chance of entering the American mainstream without knowing what a silicon chip is, or when the Civil War was fought.An important work that has engendered a nationwide debate on our educational standards, Cultural Literacy is a required reading for anyone concerned with our future as a literate nation.

    Truer words were never spoken: every American should read this1

    The subtitle tells it all: everyone should read this book! It's all about getting back to our cultural roots and why literacy is important.

    I don't know. I hope it refers to the content

    I have not read the book. It's on my list of books to read. I bought it on the recommendation of former Congressman Tom Tancredo in his book "In Mortal Danger"

    must read

    T.V. has dominated modern culture and Literacy is at an all time low in America. Uneducated voters will eventually lead to the unraveling of America. Our only hope is that everybody has the ability to read and comprehend, so that America can once again be a nation the world admires.

    Nice book to have

    I enjoy the book. It's interesting to see what you know from all those years of school. I know a lot of the names listed but not all. I looked up some names to see what they were. Good book to have around. Makes for interesting conversation too.
