Amazon Customer said Not great, very expensive as a new edition.. I did not feel that this book was designed in a reader friendly format. Chapters were poorly delineated and organization did not always make sense to me. It was/is a VERY expensive book when buying a new edition.

Great ideas Daisy This book is filled with wonderful ways and ideas on how to improve literacy in your students. I just wish a book about improving literacy had more variety in writing style to reach a larger reading audience.
