Synopsis:

This book combines new and time-tested approaches to reading problems and adds practical instructional strategies, assessment tools, discussion of the research, and an informal reading inventory that students can use immediately.

The book distills many different approaches to teaching students with reading problems and presents them in an approachable, balanced, and readable format. Early chapters present general information on the reading process, problem readers, assessment, and principles of instruction. Later chapters provide in-depth information on strategies for teaching various parts of the literacy process and concluding chapters detail successful intervention programs and teaching in diverse and inclusive settings.

Reading Problems is extremely practical, presenting many informal assessment tools and strategies. Yet it also presents research on intervention programs and multicultural strategies, and extensive descriptions of tests. The needs of adolescents and adults are also emphasized.

Review:

“The assessment information is ordered in an appropriate meaningful way. I especially like the fact that students can go to the website and download an IRI.” -Dr. Priscilla Leggett, Fayetteville State University

 

“I like how assessment is embedded with text topics as well as with teaching strategies favoring developing readers and writers. [The] text goes into greater detail about the causes of reading problems and addresses the nature versus nurture question better than I have seen in other texts.  It does have very good coverage of assessment and teaching strategies for the reading process.” -Terrence V. Stange, Marshall University
