I haven't read the book, but the first Chapter that is available online would make a good test for a methods class. If you were the consultant, how would you have taught this lesson? She didn't use multilevel readings nor really prepare students for the reading. However, if that prep were provided, the reading strategies are good. Great definition of strategy.
