Reading and Learning to Read

The book I received was in good condition and it got here in good time. Thank you very much!

Reading and Learning to Read (7th Edition)

I would purchase from this seller, again and again. I purchased this textbook for a class that I'm taking. Later, I found out we wouldn't be using this book. I contacted the seller about returning this book. I did exactly what I was instructed to do and in less than 2 weeks, I received a "refund confirmation" email. I highly recommend this seller.

good work

Book was in great condition. Saved lots on buying a past edition instead of going with the current. Thanks for the great delivery time!

Excellent Reading Instruction Beginners Book

This is one of the most comprehensive and interesting books I had ever come across in my educational career. The authors not only teach the basics of reading instruction, but put forth a plethora of differing strategies/methods for application in the elementary and middle grade classrooms.

Great resource for future teachers or parents!

This book is written very well and is very informative. I found this book to be a great tool for teachers. I read this book for a class and I felt that it kept my interest and made for easy reading material. This book provides parents and/or teachers with insight on how to help children learn to read. This book also includes many great activities and strategies to use to strengthen and encourage literacy (no matter what age the student is). I have tested many of the activities on students myself, and found that it made teaching and learning to read more enjoyable for everyone involved. Overall, I thought this book was great. I plan on keeping it as a resource in my classroom or even in my own home.
