Customer Reviews

A great primer

A useful and concise text, appropriate for teachers in mainstream and ESL classrooms, that gets at the issues underlying second language reading. There is a moderate amount of basic linguistics lingo as well as summaries of research.....but just enough so as to be able to describe the challenges of reading to the second language learner as well as describe the limitations of our pedagogical knowledge.
