Review

"Educators searching for a guided tour through the literature on the research and practice of teaching reading to students with learning disabilities will find this text invalulable....Educators should find the plethora of reading strategies that parallel specific reading skills and learner characteristics extremely helpful in planning appropriate reading instruction for students with learning disabilities."
