Books:

McGreevy, P. (1983). Teaching and learning in plain English (2nd. ed.). Kansas City, MO: Plain English Publications.

White, O. R., & Haring, N. G. (1980). Exceptional Teaching (2nd ed.). Columbus: OH, Merrill.

All three of these books give good instruction, but they are dated in many ways. All three of these books are out of print. You should be able to find the Jordan and Robbins and the White and Haring books at most college or university libraries. If a library does not have these two books, interlibrary loan is possible. White and Haring is the most comprehensive book written on Precision Teaching, but it is very dated. I believe it will be difficult to locate a copy of McGreevy's book.
