There are some strategies/tips that are a little dated, but overall there were lots of easy to implement strategies that librarians and teachers could use to get kids reading and interacting with text. I love that most of these were super low cost and quick to implement.

A lot of great ideas for getting kids of all ages to read.

This book had some good ideas. However, most of the strategies were things that most teachers already know.

AS advertised, the strategies and activities in this little book are best suited for the primary classroom. None of the activities were earth shattering, but there are some ideas in there that are adaptable to many content areas and grade levels. The book is very teacher/reader friendly.

This is a short read which can be done in little bursts since that's the way it's written. Danny shares multitudinous ideas from his own teaching experience. I had heard of most of these ideas and had already implemented many in my own classroom, however, for me, a fifth grade teacher, the main value of the book is rejuvenation. A teacher knows they know lots of games, but Danny has written them down, so the book is a great reminder of what you already know or have done in the past. I'm glad he took the time to write everything down. I do love how he reminds us of how many core standards we hit when we do certain tasks and projects!

A beginning teacher would find this book helpful. I had some trouble getting past his attitude as read it. I've known many seasoned teachers with just as many good ideas, but with much humbler approaches to teaching.

If you are beginning teacher of grades K-3 this is a great idea book. There were a few strategies that could be redesigned for upper grades.

I am a parent who wants my children to love reading as much as I do. This book gave me some fun tips and ideas for encouraging them. The writers' enthusiasm for reading was contagious.

This guy thinks bringing marketing strategies into the classroom works; it's all about making the kids thinking reading is cool- not the sensory deprivation...
