User Reviews about The Reading Teacher's Book Of Lists: Grades K-12 - Fifth Edition

This is the ideal resource book for spelling and vocabulary lists. This has been a valuable reference book for me. -- Every teacher needs this book!

I highly recommend this book to any teacher. I am an LD teacher and I have used this book while working with students at all levels (kindergarten to medical school students). I first bought a copy in 1993,that edition wore out and I have bought at least two more. I occasionally teach a graduate level class at Marshall University, when I do I always recommend my students purchase this book. My students rave about it. I use this book all the time for teaching reading, writing, and spelling. It is an invaluable resource. -- My Most Valuable Resource

This book contains everything having to do with reading. The book is comprehensive and well worth the money, as you will use it for years to come. I especially like the layout of the book and the sections that include teaching ideas, assessment, and study skills. It is a great resource that doesn't just sit on my shelf. -- Great Book

I have implemented the fourth edition into my teaching since I taught seventh and eighth grade struggling readers and writers classes. This book is excellent for all grades. It is a must have in every teacher's resource library. -- One of My Top Reading Teacher Resources

I wasn't sure a book of lists would help me. I tutor freshmen in High School. But I have used these lists over and over again. Words with multiple meanings, idoms, homonyms, and of course vocabulary lists are some of my favorites. Buy it you'll like it. -- Must have item for Reading Teachers
