I was looking for more of 'Here's how it worked in this classroom'

There are many strategies for variations of the same work in this book, like different vocabulary activities or some good reading strategies minilessons. I wanted more of a structure for a classroom - like take the top 10% from the pretest and go this route with them, then with the next group ... But that was not the layout of this book.
This book would be great for a content area teacher that has not taken an indepth reading (for information or in the content area) class at some point in their career. Possibly a beginning teacher in a secondary content area would benefit most from this.
