Reading Specialist

This is a good book if you are a Reading Specialist in a school or school system. It is easy to understand, and contains excellent practical suggestions. It is not a good choice if you are looking for a resource to use as a study guide for the PRAXIS II Exam 0300, even though the title might imply that it would be a help. The book assumes that the reader knows everything that the test would be covering. This book addresses how to apply what a Reading Specialist knows to her work in the classroom,school, and community. Good book--but not a study guide.
