Combination of Reserach and Easy ReadDecember 6, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
We often must chose a book that's an easy read, or a book with a clear research base. This book does both. A great read for anyone looking to have a successful literacy program in elementary schools. Walpole and McKenna get past the buzzwords and provide concrete examples that will help students.
