In many schools the art flexible grouping has gone the way of slide rules. This book presents a compelling argument for integrating flexible grouping into existing reading programs.

The authors offer a variety of methods for group. The methods are well explained. Samples schedules and techniques for grouping facilitate understanding of how to use the methods presented.

This book is certainly not a quick fix. The authors wisely stress the need for careful planning and implementation. Readers will, however, find themselves in possession of a useful tool for integrating flexible grouping into their instructional repertoire.

This booked was loaned to me by the school guidance councelor because our daughter was having some problems in school. I wanted a copy for myself for future reference. Things are broken down into subject and are age appropriate. I like the question and answer sections in each chapter that helped me to see that my child was not the only one with this particular problem. It was helpful by giving you ideas that you may have never thought of. It covers just about every subject you could want (except foreign language). This is a wonderful book for parents of elementary and middle school students.
