I have and do teach general SEI education in the intermediate grades of urban schools. I bought this book two years ago and have carried it around the classroom so much that I now need to buy a new one. The book outlines concise theoretical explanations and provides very practical instructions for implementing critical literacy in the classroom. I use the techniques frequently during guided reading and also during whole group instructions - with the basal and with literature.

As a result, their outstanding standardized test results have attracted the admiration of my superiors and have allowed me more autonomy to teach how I think best.
