5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful text
This is a very useful, and up to date text. I'm in an education program right now that focuses heavily on literacy. This text book has become my bible! This text even carries complete lists of children's books to use for teaching certain ages and subjects!
I love this book and I'm sure I'll be using it for years to come!

2.0 out of 5 stars Required, but unimaginative
This text may have been required by the course I took, but it is a low quality test written in the obscure, academic way that gives textbooks bad name. It takes an interesting subject and makes it boring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Substantive, responsible, engaging, and practical, November 5, 2006
This is a fantastic book. It is intelligently written and engaging. It is far more interesting to read than, for example, Reutzel and Cooter's "Teaching Children to Read: From Basals to Books," which is stultifying by comparison. Gunning does not insult the reader's intelligence. This book is rooted in the research and, apparently, in considerable experience and thought on the author's part. Full of wise, useful, and detailed practical advice. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a great book, March 22, 2006
By 
This is a great book that will help future teachers and parents to teach their children literacy. It has information about how to help children to understand reading and how one can help them to learn. This book has good information for anyone who wants to become a better reader. The only thing that I dislike about the book is that the chapters are long, but it is worth it.

This is a fantastic resource for literacy instruction. The author provides lots of practical tips and techniques for each approach as well as the theory behind each one. It's easy to read, too.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I ordered the book the first week of instruction and I just knew that it was going to be a while before I received it, no joke! I ordered the book on a Wednesday I received the book either like Saturday or Monday.. Either way it was just in time for class so I was definitely a happy camper. Nor to mention the book was in excellent condition.. 100% satisfied! :D
