I generally loathe ed books and have found most to be pretty useless to the actual teacher in a real classroom. Not so Ms. Rapp Ruddell's book! In Mary Ellen Vogt's class at Cal State Long Beach, we had the benefit of reading this book in Galley form. IT IS SO WORTH IT.I don't know about the second and third edition, but this first one is GOLD! BUY IT!
