It helps to get the book you actually ordered!!
I ordered the eigth edition Content Area Reading, but much to my surprise I received a very old edition of this book. Because I received the book so close to the beginning of the semester, I then had to go to the bookstore and purchase the correct edition! So the money I spent with this seller was completely wasted. NOT Someone I would order from again.

Mid-continent Regional Educational Laboratory, 1998

Good strategies
This book provides several good strategies that can be used to teach reading. The back of the book literally has step-by-step instructions for using the strategy as well as a worksheet that can easily be copied and distributed. The beginning of the book is pretty repetitive of what you would hear/guess you would hear from a teaching reading class. The strategies, however, are great.
