ONE REVIEWER SUMS IT UP!

“I believe it to offer an excellent balance between fundamental concepts guiding reading/language arts instruction and information describing “hands-on” strategies and techniques. The primary strengths of Reading and Learning to Read are the correlations with IRA Standards, the very colorful and appealing photos and figures in the artwork, the ease of reading, the organization of important information [in boxes and figures], and the handy chapter tools [chapter objectives, headings and subheadings, as well as the Teacher Action Research and the Related Websites]. The focus on Internet resources is up-to-date and relevant. In addition, the Appendices offer valuable resource information … What this text offers in the way of content that was deficient in other texts is the multitude of materials on word identification, building word concepts, and phonics instruction.”
