This book is a very useful tool for learning different types of documenting techniques. There are pictures, graphs and examples of documenting a child's work. It's worth buying if you are going to be working in a classroom!

Customer Rating:
Not a very good tool unless you have other supporting data to aid with this book. Nothing new. Not worth it.
