“Reading and Writing in Elementary School Classrooms, 4e was well conceived and will only grow in popularity as more and more teachers seek support for the teaching of reading. The book is a great effort on the part of the authors.”
Professor Lee T. Person, Ed.D, Associate Dean for Education, Ottawa University

Professor James Rooks, Calvin College
