"As an administrator of an ESL program, [the book] is very appealing. It would be a good 'book study' for a school improvement team that is looking into reasons for and solutions to an achievement gap between their ELs and general education students."

"This book will contribute to the validation and recognition of the unique needs language learners bring to our schools, and does an excellent job of advocating for those needs to be met."
