Publisher's Synopsis
Even with effective early interventions, many students continue to need expert, intensive, and focused reading instruction well beyond the primary-grade years. Now, intermediate and middle school educators have a resource to help them develop instructional strategies for these struggling students. The contributors to this volume draw from research and classroom practice as they share strategies that work for children who struggle to read in grades 3-8. The chapters address the needs of children in a range of instructional settings such as general, special, and bilingual classrooms and learning contexts such as classroom, small group, individual, and tutorial. You'll come away with a solid understanding of the current state of knowledge on struggling readers and the multiple pathways you can take to help them succeed.
