Great class and great book choices that are relevant with all that’s going on in the reading community and legislation with reading and the growth that is being made with reading concerns for all students.

This is one of the best CEA copilot classes I have taken! Excellent teacher, course, and book readings full of good up to date information.

This is an awesome class. The instructor, Rachel, has thought out good questions and discussion topics. She is also great at reading what you post, which help greatly with my engagement. Both books are interesting and worth the read. I would recommend this class to friends who want to know more about the science of reading.
