Lenses on Reading, Second Edition: An Introduction to Theories and Models

I like the fact that the book arrived on time.

I bought the Kindle version of this book. I think it is great but there are a few things I would tweak. First I do not see page numbers which makes it difficult to follow along with classmates and the teacher when we are having a class discussion, second I LOVE that you can highlight as you read along but would be happier if you could change the highlight color for different parts of the text. Just an FYI you can do a search for terms so that somewhat makes up for not having pages numbers but I would prefer knowing the pages numbers!

Considering the subject matter it is well written and easier to comprehend than most scholarly theoretical foundations books or writings so in that respect I highly recommend it. It was purchased for a masters level foundations in reading course at the university. I am not sure how often I would refer to it beyond the academic references to theory in our practice. However, as I stated it is much easier to understand than some of the journal articles about theoretical principles and it is neatly arranged for ease of study and research.

A very concise review or educational theory throughout the ages. This is a must read for any teacher, regardless of their service status. This text will help you as a teacher to realize some of the rational behind your methods and pedagogy while presenting opportunities to observe the philosophy in a classroom context.

An excellent book for reading specialist or administration. It reflects the historical psychological theories and how they connect to the classroom. It allows for you to reflect on your current teaching practices and the internal processes of students metacognition of reading strategies. This book does an excellent job of interweaving psychology theories with theoretical approaches along with classroom ideas and examples.

I'm only in the 2nd chapter of the book and I already like the information that it is giving me. Its required for our literacy class and it is filled with information and references that are going to be useful.

This book is loaded with useful information on reading theories and models! Dr. Tracey did an outstanding job with including examples to real life situations which made the book really interesting and easy to read and understand! I also liked the fact that the book was a small and soft cover book which made it easy to carry!

I was very pleased with the book. It was in good condition. The description was pretty accurate.

This book is a must have for anyone interested in researching reading, it gives an in-depth review of what is reading, and how reading is viewed and investigated from many disciplines and schools over time. It also tackles reading theories and models and links them with today's teaching practices
