5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for reading teachers and classroom teachers!, June 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Locating and Correcting Reading Difficulties (7th Edition) (Textbook Binding)
While taking a summer course to complete my reading teacher liscense, I stumbled over this book. I had been very confused over what to do to help the two students I was tutoring as part of my course. While digging through my professor's resources, I came across this book. I took it home and it was a lifesaver! This book is filled with hundreds of tips for correcting reading difficulties in every area imaginable. Oral reading, decoding, comprehension, study skills, even pre-reading skills...from simple teaching strategies to games...they're all covered! I don't think I would have been as successful in helping my students without this text to help guide me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book I've seen on the Subject, November 22, 2002
This book is easy to read, has tons of diagnostic tests, charts and appendices that will help teaching/tutoring a child with reading difficulties. The book is set up so one can rip out what is needed to make copies. I have purchased several different books trying to learn and gain resources for tutoring a dyslexic teen who originally read at between the 0 - 1 grade level. He is now reading between 3 -4 grade level and is getting better all the time. There are a few good ones I purchased, but this one is the best!
