Idea Resource 
2006-03-03
This book is full of ideas for teachers and reading specialists looking for ways to help teach literacy. Even if you work with struggling readers everyday, it's nice to pick up this book, find the section describing the difficulties a particular student has, and get quick, helpful ideas. I used this text as a graduate student studying to become a reading specialist.

Best Book I've seen on the Subject 2002-11-23
This book is easy to read, has tons of diagnostic tests, charts and appendices that will help teaching/tutoring a child with reading difficulties. The book is set up so one can rip out what is needed to make copies. I have purchased several different books trying to learn and gain resources for tutoring a dyslexic teen who originally read at between the 0 - 1 grade level. He is now reading between 3 -4 grade level and is getting better all the time. There are a few good ones I purchased, but this one is the best!
A must-have for reading teachers and classroom teachers! 2000-06-29
While taking a summer course to complete my reading teacher liscense, I stumbled over this book. I had been very confused over what to do to help the two students I was tutoring as part of my course. While digging through my professor's resources, I came across this book. I took it home and it was a lifesaver! This book is filled with hundreds of tips for correcting reading difficulties in every area imaginable. Oral reading, decoding, comprehension, study skills, even pre-reading skills...from simple teaching strategies to games...they're all covered! I don't think I would have been as successful in helping my students without this text to help guide me.
Great for reference 2008-02-13
The book was required for a literacy class I took. Practical applications and information are contained.
Great for reading teachers, elementary classroom teachers, and literacy leaders.
MUST HAVE 2007-10-24
I am a student at Illinois State University studying to be a special education teacher. My roommate let me borrow this book, and I immediately went online to order it! It gives you examples of problems a student may be having, a reason why they may be having it, and then a bunch of strategies to help you help them. i showed it to my teacher, and she regrets not having it a requirement for class. It is good for regular or special ed students. It comes highly reccomended by me!!!
