White Water Paddling/Canoe

I'm looking for paddling instructions for canoe river running. I have a chance to paddle some class II to IV waters next spring. Are there sites or books that explain the "reading" of the rapids and how to best navigate "paddle" river waters. These rivers have the usual rocks and trees and are typically canoeable, but I'm interested in understanding the correct paddling techniques before I wrap my canoe around a tree (no second chances). I'm not solo on this trip. Any paddling comments would be appreciated.
