Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Appendix: Research Foundations Supporting This Book
Index
"Duffy and Scales have created a vital resource for teachers who want to teach reading concepts explicitly while aligning their instructional practices to support comprehension. The book guides teachers in the kind of thinking that expert teachers do, using concrete classroom examples. The fourth edition has a heightened focus on student agency and motivation. This book is essential reading for preservice, beginning, and veteran teachers, as well as for professional development providers who want to promote adaptive, visionary, and effective reading teachers."--Margaret Vaughn, PhD, College of Education, Washington State University
"This book takes the 'secret' out of reading by showing how to teach comprehension skills and strategies through clear, step-by-step lessons. The 30 sample lessons model what teachers can say and do to guide students toward true understanding. Each lesson includes adaptations for different grade levels and subjects, making it practical and flexible. As an EL teacher, I value the focus on differentiation and supporting English learners."--Monica Kula, MA, Bilingual Teacher, Pennoyer School District

"As a teacher of paraprofessionals earning education degrees, I often hear my students express that despite extensive experience in schools, they lack the confidence to try some of the teaching techniques we discuss in class. The fourth edition of Explaining Reading not only provides excellent content, but does so in a way that empowers educators to create authentic and explicit lessons that will foster students' motivation in their classrooms."--Joy Myers, PhD, Executive Director, Grow Your Own Initiatives, James Madison University-
