Review

"I particularily like the easy-to-read format of the text as well as the manner in which Lerner presents information within each chapter. Presenting a variety of theories and stating both the pros and cons of each theory allows the reader to make informed decisions regarding which theory or instructional strategy might be most effective for a given learner."
