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.
