This book is easy to read and loaded with practical, easy- to- use ideas to support instruction of comprehension, fluency, vocabulary and phonics. The BEST part are pages 10-18, which is an "If/Then" chart related to reading behaviors. For example, "IF a child reads orally, but struggles to comprehend, THEN.... try say something ( one of several strategies listed on the chart)!! Even better; if you are unfamiliar with the listed strategy, it is explained in the chapter relating to that area in the book. This is a teacher's book... you can reflect on your student's observed reading behaviors today, read a chapter of the book tonight and use the instructional strategy tomorrow. EXCELLENT!! I have used this book with three teacher book clubs/study groups and have not found a teacher that didn't appreciate the practical, easy, ideas to use.
As an educational diagnostician I'm always looking for different resources to help teachers. This book is written in a practical format with excellent strategies.
Overall this text provided a numerous amount of useful strategies to use for struggling readers of all ages. I highly recommend!
Barely used it so far for class but most likely will. No complaints. Its has nice case studies and very useful info.
