Dr. Marjorie Schiering has written yet another book that commands its rightful place on the educator’s bookshelf. There is detailed information about oral and silent reading, reading strategies, how the strategies are adapted to the classroom, and which students are to be targeted. Social and emotional learning (SEL) is underscored, and Schiering includes activities to guide classroom teachers.
