"The Teachers' Guide to Developing Reading Skills" is an excellent book for classroom use, providing numerous oral and written exercises to develop essential basic reading skills. Divided into two sections, auditory and visual skills are tackled in the same way - by explaining the skill, testing the skill, identifying difficulties within the skill, providing graded steps to develop the skill and further suggestions for activities involving the skill. Not only is guidance on how to develop these skills given, but teachers are also provided with exercises and materials to enable them to carry this development out.
