Review:

"I have used your book previously, and am presently using it, and will continue to use it, because of the timely, research-based information, the user-friendly text features, and the valuable resources and interventions my students will take to the classroom when they leave the University." --Jerilou Moore, University of Mississippi

"The book is comprehensive and the best I've seen for Reading Instruction. My students tell me how useful it is when planning literacy instruction for both their field experience and clinic lessons. ... My former students tell me they kept this book and use it often and have it as a professional resource in their graduate studies." --Tamra Ogletree, University of West Georgia

"It is unusual to find a text that is well received by a wide variety of teachers who not only want to keep the book, but report that it was informative, well organized, and provided so many useful ideas to support teaching struggling readers. . . . Even veteran teachers have responded positively to the text." --Susan Stewart, Ashland University
