From the Back Cover
“Allington has rediscovered the gold from among the innumerable nuggets of reading research ore…he values the reader’s specific interests and needs, but does not overwhelm.”
M. Priscilla Myers, Santa Clara University
“The author uses realistic examples from teachers and classrooms to illustrate effective, meaningful reading instruction with struggling readers. A teacher teaching other teachers is a powerful model for reforming instruction.”
Jo Ann Dugan, Ohio University
