This review is from: Teaching Reading Strategies in the School Library (Paperback)
I am a teacher who is taking advantage of my library background to become a school librarian. As I browsed literature in the field this book was exciting for me. I very much want to continue my literacy instruction in my new position. Unfortunately, I would consider it highly overpriced ($30+) for the content given. Included are 10 basic reading strategies (including KWL charts, prediction skills) that is likely familiar to those who are experienced in the classroom. Beyond that it costs twice as much as books tend to when offering "cookbook" lessons for teaching (and I mean no insult by that phrase owning several of these books myself). This book would be helpful to those without a background in teaching, but otherwise is a waste of money.
