“It takes teachers to make instructional research and theory come to life in the classroom. Terri Heidger and Beth Stevens, two dedicated teachers, have teamed up to develop a delightful collection of easy-to-implement instructional strategies and activities that will make teaching reading more effective and learning to read more lively. I have used many of these strategies in my own work with children, and I know they work.”
