Description

This book combines new and time-tested approaches to reading problems by adding usable instructional strategies, assessment tools, research, and an actual Informal Reading Inventory. The book distills many different approaches to teaching students with reading problems, presenting them in an approachable, balanced and readable format. Early chapters present general information on the reading process, problem readers, assessment and the principles of instruction. Later chapters provide in-depth information on strategies for teaching various parts of the literacy process and conclude with chapters detailing successful intervention programs, and teaching in diverse and inclusive settings. Reading Problems is extremely practical, presenting many informal assessment tools and strategies. Yet, it also presents research on intervention programs, multicultural strategies, and extensive descriptions of tests. The needs of adolescents and adults are also emphasized. For educators of grades K-3, parents, or anyone interested in literacy assessment and teaching strategies.
