Excellent organization and presentation of material

The author's present the material i na graphical, logical way. I wish all writers of textbooks and reference materials would present information the same way. A concept map of the entire topic and then concept maps for each of the main topics / chapters

Practical Help for Teaching

This book is the text for a graduate literacy course that I am taking. Along with a balanced outlook on the reading readiness vs. emergent literacy debate are practical ideas on how to teach reading effectively. Interesting and user-friendly.

Perfect for understanding how people learn to read

I purchased this book for a graduate course I took last year. It is now an important part of my professional library. O'Donnell and Wood cover everything from the whole language v. phonics approach to creating your own assessments.

the best I've seen

I'm an elementary school librarian in NE PA. In PA we have an excellent inter library loan system. It's the envy of the nation. Ninety percent of the libraries in the state share a centralized OPAC. There are well over 1.5 million distict titles in the database, available for circulation. One of the faculty recently suggested that I pull 25-30 currnet titles on the topic of reading instruction, and set them up in the faculty room. I limited my search to titles published within the last 5 years. We received about 20 titles. This is the best of the lot. All aspects of instructional reading techniques are covered. There are even reading inventory assesments, in the appendix, for someone who would want to perform a study. This is an excellent book. I plan to add it to our professional developement library. mike reavey
