Packed with easy-to-use tools and resources, this book presents
intensive intervention strategies for K-5 students with severe and
persistent reading difficulties. Filling a key need, the authors
describe specific ways to further intensify instruction when students
continue to struggle. Chapters address all the fundamental components of
reading--phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition, reading
fluency, oral language, language and reading comprehension, and writing
to read. The authors discuss the design and implementation of intensive
instruction and provide effective teaching techniques and activities.
Grounded in the principles of data-based individualization, the book
includes concrete recommendations for determining students' particular
needs and monitoring their progress.
