This was an assigned textbook for an information literacy class. I am sure that the book is an excellent resource if you are studying to be a reading specialist or an elementary school teacher. As a student to become a library media specialist, I found this book to be irrelevant. So I am giving the book 3 stars because it is an excellent resource for someone out there but it didn't help me. If you are going to be a reading specialist, I highly recommend buying this book. The author provides great examples to help with teaching strategies. This book also includes a CD and the publisher has a companion website for the book which gives quizzes to test your comprehension of the chapter. (
