I found this textbook to be extremely dull and a bit hypocritical. Most of the text is about how to make reading and literacy engaging, but the textbook itself was the exact opposite of engaging. I found a few useful tips for the classroom, but overall I really dragged through most of the chapters. I liked the discussion of word clouds and maps, but other than that I can't think of anything particularly noteworthy.

For a book on reading assessments and interventions it is very hands-on and full of strategies and ready-to-use forms. I felt that this would've been a book I should've had in my education classes. It comes across as being written by a teacher for a teacher.

So boring.

I think this is a very comprehensive, user-friendly textbook for preparing educators for real world teaching. Gipe and Richards provide lots of strategies, classroom examples, and a plethora of useful resources at the end of each chapter. Teachers--both new to the profession as well as experienced--will find ideas and activities for assessment, instruction, differentiation and the current research behind these best practices. Readers will find everything from beginning literacy instruction to teaching content area reading and writing in this one book. It's well worth the time, effort, and cost. I will be using it in my upcoming foundational class for new teachers.
