Reviews

[Leslie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Even though there was some good information in the book, deciphering it from the very confusing wording was not worth it. The book was terribly written and for it being a book on reading and literacy you would think they would have written it in an easier-to-read manner! Poorly written and very complicated. Not worth it.

I did not learn anything really valuable about teaching literacy from this book.

[Robert Fry · Rating 1 out of 5]

The person who wrote this extremely long, convoluted textbook, with its overly complicated explanations that drone on well past my bedtime, obviously had no regard for the mind of a wandering attention span. And if I were a tree that went into the making of it, I'd be pissed.

Love this book but the technology links and recommendations should be updated & more rigorous in my opinion.

Textbook. I actually read an entire textbook.

[Rachel Robins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dense text but excellent strategies for content and LA teachers alike.

It was a textbook...but it was better than a lot of textbooks.
