This book was a good review of the science of reading, specifically based on Scarborough's reading rope. Along with the information in each chapter about a specific strand of the rope, there is a lesson/activity for each grade level. There is also next steps to help others put the reading in action.

✅Some good suggestions and I like the emphasis on newer research.

❌Many of the suggestions skewed more primary and intermediate; there seemed to be less concrete application examples for secondary classrooms.
