Your colleagues rave about Understanding Reading Problems:

It is an ideal book for experienced and inexperienced teachers learning how to better address students with reading problems. Overall, I really love the text.

-Lucille A. Smassanow, SUNY New Paltz

One of the major strengths of this textbook is the breakdown of strategies by developmental level. The authors highlight the importance of differentiating effective strategies by devoting a chapter to each age level.

-Deborah E. Bordelon, Xavier University of Louisiana

Chapter 10 was one of the reasons why I decided to change to this text. I was looking for a text that specifically addressed English Language Learners and the ever-increasing number of students who are within elementary classrooms with these needs.

-Bonnie Hoewing, University of Northern Iowa
