Good book about the overview of helping those students that receive special ed services in the area of LD. There are many resources within that I have never thought about using. I look forward to using this book for future reference in my classroom.

A good guide for teachers/administrators, as well as parents/guardians on ways to help your struggling student/child succeed in school. However, some areas in the book I thought didn't expand on the topic enough, other areas I felt there could have been less info as some of it was too repetitive
