The book is up-to-date and comprehensive.” — Karren Timmermans Published On: 2009-09-21The book is excellent and the difference in the price of this book and the text I have been using is about 50% less. I have known of Donoghue’s writing of Language Arts Texts for a number of years and find that she is always up-to-date on this subject area. Her current book is excellent!
