I found this book to be fantastic!!!! The green pages at the back give many great ideas for teachers of literacy.

I purchased this book for a class I took in spring 06 and found it extremly helpful. I've applied the balance approach method in working with young children. I've also applied the information helping my 3 year old learn to read. He is now 4 and enjoys reading. I highly recommend this book.

I needed to order this book for a class. It is well written and easy to read. As a reading teacher I can say that I will keep this book as a reference long after the class has ended. This edition comes with a CD (or DVD) which I have not previewed yet, but the instructor of my class raves about it.

I was required to read this book for a class, but would have enjoyed reading it even if I wasn't required to. The book was very interesting and I learned a lot from it. I was immediately able to incorporate what I learned into my teaching. This is one of the few textbooks that I will keep as a resource instead of reselling.

This book is well written, well organized, and has an easy-to-follow layout. It also is full of charts, tables, and illustrations in a colorful format. It stays open by itself. Most people will only buy this book if it is a required book for a course, but even so, it is better than most textbooks in its design, and an easy read for those who must have it. I wish all textbooks were like this one!

the book was in excellent condition and was very fast shipping. thanks for doing business!

The instructional strategies in the back are a great resource.

The book provides much needed reading methods and tools for reading instruction for new teachers needing quick help in moving their students toward literacy progress.

I have not seen 5th Ed. yet. The 4th edition had some great teachig and learning ideas.

The book came exactly as it was advertised and at a reasonable price. Thanks!

This book was exactly as described and just what I needed. I was able to save about $30.00 going on to Amazon and I received it quickly, too. Thanks!
