Summary: Great book for parents too
Comment: I bought the book in search of ways to help my 6 year old overcome apparent reading difficulties. This book is so well grounded on scientific findings rather than hearsays. Yet it also provides guidelines for tutoring struggling readers and pointers to various resources. After reading this book, I realized that my child had the typical word-by-word problem described in the book, most likely due to interrupting corrections to his pronunciation. This book taught me how essential it is to use books of the right level and the right way to tutor a struggling reader. I put what I learned into practice during a recent vocation and saw great improvement even just after one week. Now my son no longer feels frustrated when asked to read, rather he starts to enjoy reading. I really wish that my son's teacher had read this book, but I am glad I found it. This book really makes me in awe of the power of knowledge gained through serious scientific research. I recommend it wholeheartedly to parents and teachers alike.

Summary: A book every teacher should own, read and re-read
Comment: Richard Allington has done a masterful job of combining research in an easy to read and an understandable format. Not only WHAT he has to say is important, but (unlike other researchers that write so technically they're hard to read)HOW he says it is so down to earth and easy to read and understand. What he has to say in this book is so important for every teacher to read and implement in their classroom. I am a literacy consultant for our district, and most of the other consultants all own and love this book. This would be a great book for staff development, study groups, or any teacher that would like to improve their teaching.

Summary: Dick likes to hear himself talk
Comment: This book is a wordy testimony to the author himself. The entire 1st chapter is nothing new to anyone who has ever looked at statistics or data of any kind. Nor is much of the rest of the book for that matter. There are a few good ideas near the end, however, he spends so much time talking in circles, quoting himself, and using writing styles that I would never accept from my students that much of the meaning is lost in the process. Perhaps it is simply the style of his writing I do not like. It is hard to follow and seems to repeat itself.
