Great condition

Very good condition. I had to purchase this book as a text book for school, but plan on keeping it because it has such great information!

An awesome resource for elementary reading teachers!

I found this book filled with great ideas for my reading and writing workshops. It is probably best for someone who has already established this in their classroom. I found lots of ideas that I could use right away...or maybe tweak in a way to make it work for my students. My district purchased it...and I love it!!
