A textbook that is easy to read with lots of examples on implementing strategies for improving reading for all grades (K-12). Great resource!

This book was very challenging to read because there was nothing exciting about it. The heavy, dull paper was hard to look at it for long periods of time, the chapters were very long. Examples or charts that corresponded with text were not on the same page as the reference. The dull shade of purple was difficult to process as well. However, there were a lot of good suggestions in the book that I hope to use in the future.

This book had a lot of interesting and helpful methods to help students learn to read to learn. Was it a pleasure book? No. Will I read it again? Probably not. But, it got me thinking about ways I will incorporate reading in my teaching and move beyond, "Read chapter 10 for homework."
