Fantastic book for educators

This book was used in a literacy class of mine, and I am SO happy my instructor picked it! We all agreed it was one of the best educator books we've had in all of our reading endorsement classes. Filled with awesome teaching ideas and reproducibles, this is a GREAT buy.

Great!

The book was in the condition stated therefore i would definitely order form them again.

Excellent book for teachers! I passed Praxis II with this book!

This is an excellent book. It is an easy read, and it offers many up to date reading strategies. I would recommend it to any elementary school teacher! I originally bought this for a class (Survey of Reading) but I ended up using it to study for my Praxis II: Reading Across the Curriculum. I studied the vocabulary mostly and received almost a perfect score. I would DEFINITELY get this book if you are looking for a "review" book for all the categories on the Reading Across the Curriculum test for the praxis II.

A textbook that's easily accessible to all!
