[Brynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

An absolutely great book about how to teach children to read. Certainly written for teachers, this text gives a great understanding of the process and provides concrete examples of how to make the process work. Perhaps its most endearing quality is its emphasis on authentic literature and the importance of READING in the process of learning to read - you can't finish this book and not be a believer in the fact that we learn to read by reading real books that we enjoy.

An excellent resource for supporting readers that draws on rich literacy theory and suggests many appropriate teaching practices.
