A lot of handy dandy tips in this bad boy, I definitely took notes as I went through it. I got a few ideas for the kids I'm currently helping, which was the whole point of the read - so heck yeah for success! There are also some good exercise ideas and lists of words to learn in what order one should learn them.

I would say some of this is pretty basic information, especially for people who are already educated in children literacy.

Overall this did not tell me anything new. It is also written more for tutors than for classroom teachers. I am sure it is good for them but not for me.

I read this to prepare to teach my daughter. I have been homeschooled and have helped homeschool others and this was a good reminder on how it's done.

I don't know if I've read a professional book outside of college classes, but I decided to dive into this one because it was free on Kindle. This book isn't for anyone, it's for people who want to help teach kids (K-12) how to read. I found it to be easy to follow, it's broken up into various topics and ideas for different grade levels were separated out. I got a lot of great ideas, some of which I may try to use in the classroom.

I picked up this book, to help me better understand literacy issues in K-12 schools. Even though I was the book's exact target demographic (mostly teachers), this was a very approachable and easy to follow book. I really liked the estimating reader's level chapter especially for my work as a children's librarian. Though I skimmed the chapter on ESOL learners it did seem to have the same organization. Includes supplementary charts and word lists.

This is the best, most comprehensive book about teaching adults to read that I have read yet!
