"The chapters that describe strategies for discrete reading behaviors (eg., words, fluency, comprehension) provide ...a wealth of instructional support through an excellent collection of activities." — Evangeline Newton, University of Akron

"A strength of the book is its practicality-teachers could use these strategies immediately and fit them into their existing curriculum." — Elizabeth Sturtevant, George Mason University
