I have recommended that the students in my class keep this textbook for future use. It is chock full of strategies, research to back up those strategies, book lists and classroom examples. The author gives step by step instruction on how to set up the four classroom strategies for teaching the language arts. This information is invaluable and even the most inexperienced teacher could use the book to set up a viable language arts classroom. The DVD that comes with the book allows us to see inside the classrooms of "exemplary" teachers and watch how the strategies work in the real world. Well worth the money.

Finally, I was required to a buy a book that I will actually use again. Both pre-student and veteren teachers will enjoy this book. It contains a wealth of strategies for teaching kids how to write. Although there is a a lot of great information however, if your like me you don't have tons of time for reading through all the historical and case study information. Each section is clearly explained so it's great to just pick and choose what you are looking for.

Does a decent job of covering all the bases. The endless lists can seem arbitrary (6 language arts; 4 teaching practices; 4 systems; 4 factors; 5 stages; etc, etc), but once it gets into actual examples of how this works in the classroom, it's pretty helpful.

The book has a lot of useful ideas. I purchased it for an undergrad class, but learned a lot from the text itself. It's a resource I'll be keeping for years to come!

The book is fantastic and full of important information for teaching young and older children alike. I like the presentatin format.

Excellent book, great resource for any teacher and definitely worth the price. I highly recommend this to any educator, get it now!!

The book arrived in the promised condition. I think even better than promised so that was a plus. It also arrived at the time that it needed to arrive, not late at all. Great book.

The product was in great condition. I wish the description of the book was a little more detailed. I did not know I was buying a textbook. But fortunately it works for my current needs.

The book was brand new with no markings. It was delivered in a timely manner as well.

I ordered this book at a great price! I received it when I expected to and it was in an excellent condition.
