Summary
InTeaching Children Who Find Reading Difficult, celebrated authors Tim Rasinski and Nancy Padak, join literacy expert Gay Fawcett to present teachers with a research-based instrucational approach to teaching struggling readers. Drawing on current IDEA's Responsiveness to Intervention (RTI) model, the authors group user-friendly strategies around key reading instruction areas: phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension--to show teachers how to organize intervention for diverse classroom settings, including classrooms with English learners and students with disabilities. Teachers will learn how to combine and adapt strategies that meet individual student needs within their reading and writing curriculum and transform students into strong, independent readers.
