Interventions for Reading Problems: Designing and Evaluating Effective Strategies

Practical Intervention in the Schools Series

by Edward J. Daly III, Sabina Neugebauer

This user-friendly guide has been thoroughly revised to reflect significant changes in the way schools deliver reading instruction and intervention, especially for students at risk for reading failure. Step-by-step strategies target key areas of literacy development: phonological awareness, fluency, and comprehension. Particular emphasis is placed on scientifically based practices that do not require major curricular change and can be applied with students of varying ages and ability levels. In a large-size format with lay-flat binding for ease of photocopying, the book includes 17 reproducible assessment and instructional tools. Purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.

This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by T. Chris Riley-Tillman.

I found this to be informative, and it does not claim to be a magic bullet for intervention (which I would hazard to guess is the issue that reviewers have with it).
