ReviewsIt [the text] is very complete and covers the materials in an orderly and organized fashion. I particularly like the review of the advantages and disadvantages of each method described, and the inclusion of a chart to reinforce those for the learner...Finally, I really liked the fact that Bentzen takes the time to fully cover children that are older - from ages six through eight. This final section is a real bonus!, Part One puts observation in the perspective of the cyclical nature of observing/recording - interpreting - evaluating/recommending, which, in my opinion, remains a major strength of this book.
