Summary: Good little overview
Comment: Silberstein's book is a short overview of the main elements of teaching reading. These include nonprose reading, expository prose, editorialising and opinion, fiction, poetry, and songs. This is followed by a final chapter on developing instructional materials for use in the classroom.

She writes in a very engaging style which makes for easy reading, while being informative at the same time. My only complaint is that in her material on reading critically she does not mention that all books need to be read critically including her own.

Those looking for an in-depth analysis of any one type of reading would be better suited to look elsewhere as her information is necessarily brief given the 100 odd pages she had to work with. For those looking for an introduction it will serve well. Although she does provide a bibliography it would be helpful if she included a list of further reading materials at the end of each chapter. That would help those who are in need of more information and turn her book into a necessary starting place for those teaching reading.
