 I feel like Alice in wonderland.  Things just keep getting curiouser and 
curiouser. 
I was unable to access the article, but I'm wondering if the word HOURS is 
the key to my confusion.  Can it be that success is related more directly to 
quality intentional or purposeful literacy instruction than it is to the 
length of time spent on teaching literacy?

If not, I think I was left behind.
