"I would VERY LIKELY adopt this book...for the readability, comfort level, and wide-scope." -- Deborah Ferrar "Yes, I would like to adopt this book for a course, especially for the lab text for my reading methods course. I feel it provides important problem solving work that undergraduate students rarely get to be involved in an organized manner." -- Michael Martin "It is very likely I would adopt this text because it provides the opportunity to analyze data and plan for intervention." -- Leslie Marlow
