Synopsis:

The third edition of Strategies for Reading Assessment and Instruction provides a wealth of complementary and practical ideas for teachers who need to assess and address students' reading achievement. Each of the strategy-driven chapters moves from a set of theory-informed assessment tools to intervention strategies that will address students' reading needs. The indispensable IF-THEN charts present these strategies in an instantly applicable manner. Readers diagnose the specific problem their students are having, then immediately discover which of the chapter's strategies are most beneficial in assisting them.

 

• Adaptations are modeled for English Language Learners and struggling readers throughout.
• A new “assessment matrix” informs the reader which tools ― all evaluated for reliability and validity ― are appropriate for the four cardinal purposes of assessment: screening, diagnosis, progress monitoring, and outcomes assessment.
• Discusses the fundamental tools of comprehensive reading instruction, offers suggestions in organizing your classroom for every student's success, and addresses the role of the student's family in building engaged, lifelong readers.
• Replete with classroom-tested and student-centered intervention strategies, this is a rich resource for the preservice and practicing teacher.

From the Back Cover:

This accessible, effective, “point-of-teaching” text and resource puts up to date information, assessments, and instructional strategies in front of teachers of reading in an incredibly practical, ready to use format. Practicing educators find it an ideal reference tool for matching strategies to students’ needs, pre-service teachers find it a highly informative core text for reading diagnosis and assessment courses, and workshop instructors find it just what they need for their ongoing professional development programs. Readers can quickly turn to current information on evidence-based assessment and instruction and immediately find ways to assess, teach, and organize for effective and comprehensive reading instruction. The widely popular format of the book’s IF/THEN Strategy Guides includes page references for rapidly matching student needs to research-proven teaching strategies.

 

Here’s what makes this new edition unique:

 

• An extensive and recently updated selection of evidence-based instructional practices and assessment tools to inform instruction and meet individual learners’ needs.
• The most up to date information on how to implement Response to Intervention (RTI) three-tiered instruction in the classroom.
• Updated and newly revised chapters 3-12 providing access to highly effective, reliable, valid, and classroom proven assessments and teaching strategies in an easy-to-use format.
