2.0 out of 5 stars Just Okay, February 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Maybe this is my fault, but I thought I was buying the most recent edition of this book (I guess I should have known better for $.39!). I am now trying to use it in class (most times unsuccessfully) as the page numbers don't match up with the newer versions and there are specific strategies missing. Overall, I'm not sure who is at fault, but I do know I'm left feeling a bit annoyed.

4.0 out of 5 stars I found some technology aides in this book., May 18, 1999
By A Customer
I did not read the whole book. I was reviewing the content for technology aides for the educator (i.e., teachers). The two chapters I did review; I found insightful for the teacher in respect to the reading and writing process and methods to aid the instructor. On the technology end, I was hoping for more information but this was out of frustration with my assignment. There are technology aids scattered thoughout the book in the form technology links, as the author put it. Examples of these technology links are word-processing programs, videotape profolios, and others. In filling out this review, I am doing electronic dialoguing or sharing my responses about the book. Please, take my rating as very subjective, since I did not read the whole text. I wanted a whole chapter on technology, but as my professor pointed out. That can be a whole book in itself. May all individuals find the joy of reading and writing.
