For anyone involved in the teaching of reading, this book gives you the information needed to help students become confident readers. I followed these guidelines in my classroom and I am ecstatic at the results. My students attitudes towards reading have improved as well as their comprehension, writing, and spelling, just like Pilgreen stated it would. I recommend this book and method to all.

The SSR Handbook, is a compilation and description of 8 guidelines for conducting an effective Sustained Silent Reading Program. If your school is considering implementing or altering your existing SSR program, don't consider doing it without this guide, if you are using an SSR program in your class buy this book.

The suggestions and guidelines that are included are common sense based, but it is a common sense that makes you want to say, "Why didn't I think of that?". Success does have a formula and based on the common sense nature of this book, this is the formula.
