"Teaching Reading to English Learners, Grades 6-12, is useful for any secondary teacher who works with English learners, but what makes it unique is its upbeat tone, high and loving expectations for all English learners, and empathy for the challenges they face. Calderonand Slakk help teachers believe in their students, which is essential to teach them. It is rare that a textbook is such a pleasure to read." -- Robert E. Slavin, Director of the Center for Research and Reform in Education at Johns Hopkins University and Institute for Effective Education at the University of York
