Quote by Anita Price Davis, Retired Professor of Education, Converse College: "Filled with activities, ideas, and methods for integrating reading instruction, Chapman and King's text provides content classrooms with necessary materials for differentiating reading instruction to meet individual student needs. Because a unique vocabulary is inherent in each subject matter, the sections on vocabulary development and enhancement are particularly helpful for classrooms in any content area.”
