The book is relevant as it pertains to instruction tailor made for each kind of learner. The authors provided detailed instructions. They covered the most important aspects of Literacy. The authors emphasised word recognition and phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluecy , comphrension and so much more.

Pretty solid. Hopefully I’ll reread in the future. Great resources as well

This gives clear, concise, but somewhat basic theory and technique for aiding struggling readers. The reason why the theoretical frameworks such as oral language, phonemic awareness, word recognition, vocabulary acquisition, verbal fluency, comprehension, and composition for a variety of age levels, focusing a bit on the primary school age groups. The strategies are useful, but you will have heard of many of them if you are a more seasoned educator.

This is a great book for someone just starting out in education and wants to know more about reading research and best practices in teaching reading. I wish I had read this when I was taking my education classes. The writing is very clear and gives a lot of examples. I enjoyed the classroom tips and assessment forms included in the book.
