About this title

“It is one of the most lucid texts I have had the pleasure to read in a long time. I commend the authors on the obvious amount of work they have invested.”
―Donna J. Crowley, Florida State University

“I was extremely impressed with this manuscript.”
―Roberta L. Wacker-Mundy, State University of New York at Plattsburg

“The inclusion of [Establishing Basic Language Skills] is remarkable! Often times, authors ‘overlook’ the basic areas by focusing on age specific skills. The concept that basic skills are not necessarily age specific needs to be written about more!”
―Kerri R. Phillips, Louisiana Tech University
