Summary: A Tried and True
Review: Dr. Rasinski's book offers a motivational read regarding effective reading strategies for all readers. He refers to many case studies on what current, effective, research proven instructional methods create the most success for struggling readers. This book would be a great read for teacher trainees working in the field of reading, university level professors looking for a text for reading remediation, and any primary level teacher. Information provided in the book is well worth the cost.

Summary: a wonderful teaching resource
Review: Effective Reading Strategies: Teaching Children Who Find Reading Difficult is a wonderful handbook for teachers who need ideas for those children who need extra support in learning to read. The clear writing and the many excellent research-based examples make this title one that teachers will turn to again and again. I particularly like Chapter 6, Nurturing Fluent Reading. Fluency strategies are often neglected, and can not only improve student fluency but also their comprehension. I highly recommend this book!
