Description:

For undergraduate and graduate reading diagnostics courses. This is the definitive text for understanding the teacher's role in reading remediation. Here is balanced treatment of the two elements of remediation reading: assessment and intervention. And here is an interactive model of the remediation process based on fundamental research into how children and adults acquire literacy. The author blends theory and research with a wealth of practical suggestions for integrating reading, writing, and spelling into remedial reading programs that are practical, effective, and viable for all struggling readers, including special populations.
