Customer Reviews

Great Book and Service

I would recommend this company when looking for books. I was in a bind and needed the book quickly and I received the book ahead of schedule. The book was in great shape, as was promised, and there were no marks at all. I would recommend this book for any students that want to become teachers. I will definitely use this company again in the future.

A GREAT resource

Of all the books I had to read in college on literacy, this one is the most helpful and the only one I keep in my classroom as a reference. It clearly explains normal literacy development and disects the problems that arise. PRACTICAL strategies to help struggling readers and writers and abundant. It's not a quick read, but if you work with struggling readers and writers, you'll learn a lot from this book.
