Review I wrote for IRCJ -
In this book for teachers and administrators, Richard Allington, past President of the International Reading Association, addresses issues educators need to address when implementing a Response to Intervention plan. Summarizing the research on struggling readers, Allington argues that students are not given enough time to read accessible texts. Students need regular access to texts where they recognize 98% of the words. Allington describes schools where most of the ...more

I rarely review professional books that I read, but this one was so down to earth, and common sense, that I did. Instead of focusing on what is tier one, two etc, Allington focuses on good teaching that allows struggling readers to make accelerated progress to catch up. Full of research based practices, a must read for policymakers, administrators, interventionists and classroom teachers.
Richard Allington is the guru of reading research and his name and work are internationally known. This book is exceptional in regards to the straight forward, easy to read manner in which he presents recent research findings, implications, and ideas for any interventionist or classroom teacher to implement with their struggling readers as well as good practices for all students.
Thus far, this book mostly addresses RTI in elementary schools. Still, I think it will be useful for me in understanding RTI at the high school level. Besides, Allington is a rockstar writer/researcher, one of those people who makes me feel a bit like a slacker.
I'm done; I highly recommend this book to teachers.

This is an easy read that serves as a literature review of reading intervention programs. This book is a good tool if you need to go to your administration with ideas.
Truly a MUST READ for teachers, administrators, coaches, and even parents. Practical, research based advice on how we can meet the needs of every student!!
Good book. Read it for a 1 credit book club class in teaching. It made a lot of sense and I was pleased to know I was already doing some of the things it was proposing. I was happy to see the emphasis placed on early childhood education and leveled texts at all grade levels.
I don't agree with everything Dick Allington says but, WOW, this is an informative, insightful book that is a must-read for every teacher in America. I think Allington makes some extremely valid points about instruction, the amount of time devoted to struggling readers, and the resources that we use (or should use but don't) in our efforts to help struggling readers. Every teacher needs to know about RTI and I think this is a great place to start.
Very basic information. I didn't really learn anything new!
Outstanding resource for those struggling with creating a school model to support struggling readers based on most current research.
