Not very informative. Most of the information presented in this was basic. I guess I would call it Literacy Coaching for Dummies. Literacy Coaching The Essentials by Katherine Casey would be a much better choice for those learning about coaching.

I was hoping for more information and more in-depth discussion of the material in this book. The information was good, there just was not much there.
