Praise for this book

Margriet Ruurs offers teachers something practical and meaningful in this book that belongs on every professional bookshelf. I found her suggestions insightful and exciting, and there have been few books I've read for teachers that have brought those two words to mind. -Steven L. Layne, author and professor of literacy education at Judson University
