A great refresher course for any teacher of Language Arts. The book uses the CLOZE technique, so you're learning as your filling in the answers (very active and involved learning). The reviews at the end of each chapter are a double check to see if you know the information presented. The pretest and posttest really assure you that you've learned something - which I did!

I liked this book, and it helped me learn about phonics, but I didn't like the style. Too many questions and quizzing yourslef. I just like to read and make notes.
