Reviews

I love this book! It is an excellent resource for teachers and teacher educators. The third edition addresses significant changes in the field. I especially appreciate the connections to the CCSS. Another strength is the book's emphasis on blending reading, writing, listening, and speaking in instruction. Anyone who is serious about teaching reading in today's classrooms will find this volume a 'must have.' --John Scovill, MEd, staff developer, Washington County (Utah) School District
