Comprehension Instruction by Block and Pressley - 4 stars


I own both the first and second editions, but have only used the first edition, although it is so good that I am sure the second edition must be of the same quality. I gave this book 4 stars not because it's not of the highest quality, but because it's a book that is strongly grounded in research, which makes it not so great for "beach" reading. However, the writing is of high quality and not too "researchy". It's my go-to-book for finding good explanations of reading instruction concepts and the research to support best practices.
