I ordered the following textbook for a graduate reading course.I thought it was a bit expensive so I tried buying it used on the other online seller--bidding site.I bid for it on three separate occassions and it went as high as the new book selling price.This was a classic waste of time because the bidding took several days for each seller.I've been in my course for three weeks so I succumbed and bought the book brand new for about the same as or close to the same price as all that bidding--lesson learned.

Excellent resource for teaching reading!
This book is extremely comprehensive and contains plenty of examples to guide your reading isntruction. There are three "Day in the Lives" excerpts which demonstrate good reading practices and plenty of research based principles which support reading instruction. I found the book easy to read and easy to reference when adopting or modifying existing reading instruction. There are numerous examples of teaching reading to diverse students which will assist with our current and future student populations.

THANK YOU

Wrong ISBN
The book is ok, but if you are buying it as a textbook for a college course, check the ISBN.There are two versions of the same edition of this book (the 3rd).One comes with and online web registration packet.If your prof asks that you have the packet and you get the wrong ISBN, it is $40, plus whatever you paid for the book in the first place.I was only told the title and edition to get, not the ISBN, so I was stuck paying $110 total for the book and then the packet.Sweet.

So, you want to teach reading to the small fry, 'eh?
I was introduced to this book as one of the requirements in a reading endorsement course that I am presently taking.As a veteran teacher of twenty-nine years, I am on the downside of the profession, preparing for retirement in about five years.However, I am always welcome to new methodology or better adaptations of tested strategies.

This book is a concise and informative collection of skills to assist the emerging teaching as well as the one with years under his/her belt.Current psychological trends in the teaching of reading provide essential information for parents and teachers alike.Featuring chapters that reinforce each other as well as real-life vignettes from people in the field, the book is a worthy addition to any teacher's library.Outstanding tables, charts, diagrams, photos, and illustrations enhance the meaningful text.Also, the supplemental "Assessment and Lesson Plans" booklet is a great bonus.

I find it to be one of the best teaching tools that I have had and highly recommend it to others. ... Read more
