Well Organized Book

This book is very well laid out. All of the main points are clear and there are strong summaries. The pictures could have been more attractive, which is trivial. The wording was such that the book was boring, but why should we expect a textbook to be a novel?

Great Book, one of the best books to study from for Foundations of Reading MTEL

Do not waste your money on Foundations of Reading Study guides. This help me understand different key concepts that Fountas and Pinnel over indulged in their book. This book is simple, easy to read, focus on strategies, realistic classroom scenarios, and so on and so forth. In the back of the book it gave a whole section on teaching stragegies that can be used as a reference guide. This came to me from several friends who had recommended the book to me to help me study after we have the Fountas and Pinnel book, Guiding Readers and Writers. I hope this helps.

Super

Not only is this book a great resource for teaching young children, but it a great tool for future teachers. The material in the book can help you study for MTEL's.
