A good summary of reading problems, spelling stages, etc. As someone who has studied these topics before, a lot of the information was familiar, but for someone who needs an introduction to these topics, this is a good text.

The only useful book from my class! And, of course, the only one I could rent 🙄🙄

Good review of all we learned in reading courses. It helped me study for the state certification test.

Until we got into strategies for older students, I struggled to get through this book. Once the information became more applicable to my students, I started to enjoy it more.
