[Lucas Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really appreciated the chapter on multicomponent approaches and the last chapter on frequently asked questions about teaching reading comprehension. I’d probably recommend Structured Literacy Interventions: Teaching Students with Reading Difficulties, Grades K-6 over this book.
