Professors Rave:

“This text presents a strong integration of theory, research and practice. It is the best on the market. My students will appreciate the writing style, abundant strategies, and current research. Teachers will appreciate the extra guidance in making accommodations for English learners and special needs learners. It is a wonderful addition to all content teachers’ libraries.”
