Ms. Wagstaff's book, Phonics That Work, takes an enlightening approach to teaching reading. Her ideas for making a classroom actively engaged in the literature they read and write are fabulous and realistic. She takes a researched-based look at how students learn to read and applies functional and creative ideas for making them work. I recommend this book to any one who wants to give their students the best opportunity for reading success.
