Here are some comments from teachers about the Reader's Handbook for grades 4–5.


Very comprehensive! It's all here. It's quite detailed, which will be most useful to students.

Barbara D. Pringle      

This will be an excellent resource for students. The tools are at an appropriate level for 4–5 students.

Cheryle Fulita      

A handbook of this capacity would additionally inform parents how to talk and think aloud with their children as older readers. This handbook could persuade parents to continue reading aloud with their children past their early years.

Christy Clanton      

Students and teachers will appreciate the information presented clearly and succinctly. The wide variety of graphic organizers will equip learners with strategies that may be used throughout life.

Jacquelyn Bledsoe      

Very useful as a learning tool, school or home resource, or aid for school assignments.

Laura Singer      

The definitions and explanations were very age-appropriate, clearly written, and very understandable.

Dr. Laura Guzman      

The detailed examples of how to use each strategy are super! I love that it's laid out well and organized too.

Kathy Glass      

The handbook is student-friendly, and it engages practice of nonfiction writing in a wide variety of exercises, such as the argument chart, classification notes, and the student menu, to name a few.

Geraldine M. Clare      

Great introduction-I think the students will really identify with the frustrations addressed and the language used.

Alicen Starek      

The Handbook should be very useful to a reader. I also feel that parents will appreciate the contents. Young readers should find the book quite helpful. In addition, counselors and reading teachers may use it as a reference source for parent/student conferences.

Dr. Judylynn Mitchell      

The simplistic format and friendly voice encourage the readers to think on their own, rather than to just fill in the blank on a worksheet page. Because of the high quality of the Reader's Handbook I would use this book in my classroom.

Beth Schmar      

All the information is useful to the reader. It is written so students of various reading levels can understand it.
