Those who can, teach.
A fabulous English teacher could only produce fabulous works himself. The best and most influential instructor I've had in school also has the skills to teach other educators how to instill a terrific intellectual drive in their own junior high students.

Great Resource
Content Area Reading was a required text for one of my courses. I sold it back at the end of a semester and have been kicking myself ever since. I've needed it on numerous occasions. This is one to keep around and will prove useful for future reference!

It helps to get the book you actually ordered!!
I ordered the eigth edition Content Area Reading, but much to my surprise I received a very old edition of this book. Because I received the book so close to the beginning of the semester, I then had to go to the bookstore and purchase the correct edition! So the money I spent with this seller was completely wasted. NOT Someone I would order from again.
