Customer Rating: 

My professor absolutely loves this book. I do not particularly care for it. Not very appealing to the reader. Pictures and examples are very blah!!! Plus, it is packed with too much information in a small space. Not enough examples for the concepts that need to be learned. The book came apart for most of my classmates. The pages disconnected from the binding. Hard cover is not so appealing. Does it serve the purpose in my Reading Certification class? Yes. Is it very appealing? No!
I will be reselling it once my class is over.

Within in a week the book was losing its pages and falling apart. For paying $90, I expected it to be in much better shape and not falling a part.

Customer Rating: 

I never received this book, even though I waited over 2 weeks for it and I missed 2 assignments while I waited on it. Finally, after the long wait, I received a refund. I just had to go out and buy it new for much more money and I'm way behind in my class and out about $30. I'm not a happy camper.

Great Book for beginner teachers. There are lots of strategies that you can use as a new teacher.

Customer Rating: 

This book does a good job of giving the overall picture of how to help students increase their comprehension in the classroom. If you have already taken courses on ELL students, then you can skip the first three chapters as they are all just trying to convince you that it is important for all teachers to teach reading and writing to their students, not just English/Language arts teachers. The rest of the book gives a lot of great strategies to help you out. I highly recomment this book to anyone who teaches struggling readers.
