What you are saying is correct.  "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.
