I don't  think there is any indepth look in the second
edition at deep and surface  structures though they do refer to these in
the different chapters.   If truth be told, it seems as if the classroom 
stories 
they describe are  all about deep structures.
What do you think?


I don't know what I think yet, but I do know what I am feeling...a kind of  
betrayal. 
But maybe I'm inferring to much? : )
 
She does have a page on surface and deep structure, but this whole section  
which describes the work in the high school classroom with remediation and the  
second grader trying to read The Secret Garden, has been moved from the end 
of  the book as a kind of this is how you do it all, to a spot in the book  
towards the beginning. 
 
I've been looking at the cueing system section carefully and it does seem  
kind of stuck in there out of place. She refers to the table that describes how 
 
to resolve reading problems via the cueing systems at the bottom of page 193 
and  yet the table isn't placed in the book until page 199. I think that might 
be an  editing problem. BUT all the cueing systems are used when the students 
are being  helped with resolving the problems they are encountering in their 
reading. 
 
I'm still thinking....
