The book is easy to read and has good resources and ideas. I am hoping that by the end there will be practical applications of the ideas, because right now it's more like "here, do this great intervention for this one student while the other 27 kids in your room are eagerly working independently on whatever task you've set them," which, in a Title I school, is no where near the reality.
