“The greatest strength is the attention paid to helping students learn ways of responding to literature. Not only are the reading strategies presented, but also methods and assignments that help students to develop critical thinking skills and to respond to literature in several ways: writing in-class essays, writing research papers, applying critical lenses, and responding in other forms.”— Janice McKay, SUNY College at Brockport
