Publisher's Synopsis
Designed to give practical advice to parents and teachers, this carefully organized manual is based on the assumption that children may learn to read in many different ways. It provides a comprehensive and workable collection of ideas, combining an emphasis on reading for meaning and for enjoyment with the systematic practice of word and recognition skills. Specific assessment procedures, methods of record-keeping and instructional sequences are clearly explained and described. Case studies of children with reading, spelling and handwriting difficulties illustrate the suggested methods of intervention.
