Taking a graduate class during our shutdown. I would not recommend this for my reading friends, lol. But it really is a good book for anyone going into teaching.

This was a perfect text for people wanting to learn about the basics of reading instruction. Even though it was a review for me, there were still many strategies and lessons that I would use in my classroom to help students succeed in specific areas.

This book was so dryyyy. But I did learn some things, so I feel bad giving it much less than 3 stars! No one said it was going to be entertaining!
