"The C Programming Language" assumes basic familiarity with programming concepts. It is NOT a book you want to do ground-up teaching from when you are dealing with students that have never programmed before. If you are trying to teach C and basic programming concepts at the same time, there are very few books out there that take care of that demographic. One of them that I found that does is "C How To Program", ISBN #0-13-226119-7.
