Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Not a favorite!   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
This book offers many nice strategies and ideas, however, the organization bothers me a great deal. I can never apply common logic to find what I'm looking for. Also, there are too many alternate sub-texts throughout the book which I believe are usually superfluous --by being in a sub-text box, I am left to infer that the information is probably not all that important and therefore not worth reading.

2) Great textbook!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a great book for a beginning teacher and experienced teacher. It offers great strategies and up to date research on current trends in literacy. It is very helpful for thematic teaching and intergrating content area subjects. It is also an easy read where you can pick it up and continue.......Great book!

3) Great Resource   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Content Area Reading was a required text for one of my courses. I sold it back at the end of a semester and have been kicking myself ever since. I've needed it on numerous occasions. This is one to keep around and will prove useful for future reference!

4) Content Area Reading : Literacy and Learning Across the Curriculum (8th Edition)   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
My husband had to have this book as a textbook for a Summer School course at ECU.

5) content area reading review   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
