Assessing and Correcting Reading and Writing Difficulties

by Thomas G. Gunning

Pre- and in-service teachers turn to this book for a comprehensive, well-grounded look at theory and research, balanced with a practical approach to reading assessment, diagnosis, and remediation that includes 46 sample lessons covering virtually every major skill or strategy. The lessons are described in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step manner, and the emphasis is on strategies that teachers can use independently for developing skills in word recognition, vocabulary, comprehension, reading in the content areas, writing, spelling, and studying. This new Fifth Edition of Assessing and Correcting Reading and Writing Difficulties includes coverage of the critical areas of Response to Intervention and the impact of the Common Core State Standards.

Reviews

[Teresa Witte]

Very comprehensive tome for educators who seek to support students in reading comprehension.

[Ann]

Read for CI 574. The Bible for reading instruction.

[Austin Sayre]

Not the most helpful book on reading. More theory and less practical application for the classroom.
