Literacy's Beginnings,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Literacy's Beginnings: Supporting Young Readers and Writers (5th Edition) (Paperback)
Literacy's Beginnings is very informative and helpful if you are a teacher and would like to improve your reading and writing lessons. Stages of literacy are given with examples, as well as suggestions and plans for struggling readers and ELL readers. Information is also given for"normal" readers and adolescent readers. This is a great book even though the price is rather high.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Literacy's Beginnings: Supporting Young Readers and Writers (5th Edition) (Paperback)
I needed this book for a class, and it arrived in time and in very good condition as promised by the seller. The seller mentioned that it was slightly highlighted, but neglected to say that the highlighting was blue. The dark blue was distracting for me, and made it more difficult to read the pages.
I would definitely use this seller again. They ship on time and offer great prices.
