This was a good book on reading instruction. I found some new information, but it is tremendously distracting to read authors who use "if" when they should use "whether." Also, I'm far more a fan of having chapters divided into information about the subject and strategies/interventions to use with students, rather than constantly going back and forth, making me feel like I'm riding the waves on a boat.

Very useful, I still refer to this book.

This text gave me many suggestions for ways to alter my reading instruction. This is one of those books that won't be sold back when the semester is over. It will be a handy reference.

Not bad for a textbook . . . It wasn't as painful as some anyway! :)
