Reviews

Foster's book contains much that beginning and inexperienced teachers can use, but it may also serve as a bridge for veteran teachers who are ready to cross over to student-centered instruction. --Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy In every course evaluation, students claim that Crossing Over is the most valuable textbook the department has required....Now, fortunately, we have a second, even more helpful and worthwhile edition. It has all the positive features of the previous edition, plus much more. I want to stand on the college rooftop and shout the good news to everyone! --Kathyrn A. VanTil Grove City College Fresh, innovative, and engaging....The exercises, activities, and other elements add up to a decidedly user-friendly text. --James Brewbaker Columbus State University Demonstrates Foster's knowledge of what future English teachers need to know to be successful....What makes this book appealing is that it takes a teacher skills approach and actually addresses with 'how-to-do-it' ideas all those things integrated English language arts teachers do every day. --Mark A. Krabbe Miami University
