Overview
This text is designed to help teachers understand and implement evidence based practice in early reading intervention. This new resource effectively explains what to teach and how to teach struggling readers in the classroom. Unlike any other book on the market, Early Reading Interventions focuses on closing the research to practice gap in early reading. The overarching goal of this book is to make educational research related to reading comprehensible and applicable to the classroom. Perfect for a time when the demand for evidence based practice is mandated by both No Child Left Behind (NCLB, 2001) and Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA, 2004) and schools and teachers are struggling to understand and implement evidence based instruction. This book seeks to bridge the gap between research and practice by translating research into practical classroom language. Early Reading Interventions presents the process of teaching reading to struggling readers through data-based decision making and the Core Intervention Model of instruction.

<P> Teachers are always looking for ways to identify and differentiate...the lesson plans [and] continuum of reading education is so very clear...the book is great for telling what to do for [struggling readers] and how to group them by skills. -Amy Cooper, Wilshire Park Elementary School, St. Anthony, MN</P><P> </P><P> I love that the book separates...the information about English language learners and learning disabled students...Few books separate the information into tools and strategies to assist these at-risk learners... This is a book I would recommend to others because it ties into our school's philosophy that everyone teaches reading, regardless of what core subject the teacher may be assigned. -Diana L. Carr, Elgin Junior High School, Green Camp, OH</P><P> </P><P> The tools and strategies...are true to life and usable for the lower elementary reading or intervention classroom. A wide variety of tactics and assessment opportunities are introduced and described, including DIBELS, AIMSWeb, CIM, individual intervention, small group intervention, [and] and whole classroom settings...All assist the reading or intervention teachers and student(s) to see where a student is reading and whether or not progress is being made... -Diana L.
