Select Condition 
Book Overview
Struggling readers need personalized, focused, and assessment-driven instruction. In other words, they need interventions that work. Cooper, Chard, and Kiger provide those interventions in this essential resource. Covering the most important aspects of literacy— oral language, phonemic awareness, word recognition, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and writing—the authors organize the interventions around a classroom-tested framework for assessing students, diagnosing their needs, teaching them based on findings, and reassessing them to determine whether more instruction, practice, or application are needed.

The Struggling Reader: Interventions That Work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The authors of this iteration of reading strategies offer a comprehensive, easy to read, and relatively concise text covering related facets of reading skills and interventions. This book is probably most helpful to (but not limited to) those teachers whose university experience covering reading instruction consisted of the "Whole Language" reading instruction approach, in which phonics was a big no-no. The strategies in this text will help fill in those instructional gaps. Details include descriptions of types of struggling readers (ELL, LD, unmotivated, etc.), skills needed for efficient, successful reading, a prevention/intervention framework, and a plethora of strategies to implement that framework. What did I like about this book? I liked the examples (and non-examples!), easy-to-read layout/organization and charts, and descriptions of terms and strategies.
