Editorial Reviews

"I think the author does an excellent job of breaking down the topics so that they are easily understood. He also includes enough detail so that those that have learned to read prints on their own can learn more details and learn the correct methods. This is very important to me as I have a wide variety of experience levels in the same classroom." Donna Zimmerman, Ivy Tech Community College
