The text is rich in first-person accounts, classroom vignettes, and hands-on literacy activities. Some principal themes include balancing skills and more holistic approaches; fostering the love of reading; and successfully teaching all students-mainstream and minority, native speakers of English and English-language learners, and special needs and gifted-to become able and eager readers.
