Easy To Read!

This book is easy to read and provides so many examples that it is very difficult to get lost or behind. Wilde really tries to simplify the topic and I find the whole Miscue Analysis topic in general fascinating.

great text for getting to know readers!

Sandra Wilde has taken the work of Goodman, Watson, and Burke, and made it more accessible to undergrads, graduate students, and practicing teachers alike. She walks you through the reading process, the cueing systems, misuce analysis, and instructional implications for various "types" of readers. I highly recommend this text to those teaching pre-service and/or practicing teachers how to get to know readers, particularly those who struggle with text.
