Diagnostic Teaching of Reading Techniques for Instruction and Assessment

The book was the one that I exactly needed for my Master's Class, it is very useful and very informative for the reading program.

Not as bad as most text books...

This book is really easy to read and easy to follow. For a text book it's quite good. I had to buy the book for a class, but the book could have been much, much worse.
