The third edition of this comprehensive resource helps future and practicing teachers recognize and assess literacy problems, while providing practical, effective intervention strategies to help every child succeed. The author thoroughly explores the major components of literacy, providing an overview of pertinent research, suggested methods and tools for diagnosis and assessment, intervention strategies and activities, and technology applications to increase students skills. A focus throughout on the needs of English learners will assist teachers as they address the concerns of these students and help them to become literate in English. Several valuable appendices include assessment tools, instructions and visuals for creating and implementing the book s more than 150 instructional strategies and activities, and other resources.

Now in full color throughout, this new layout helps to enhance the book's various features and engage readers more fully.

New to the Third Edition:

The book's expanded focus now covers grades PreK through 8, providing much-needed activities and assessments to help older students struggling with literacy.

Important information is now included on educational models and frameworks such as Response to Intervention (RTI), the Common Core Standards, and 6 + 1 Trait WritingĀ® Assessment and Instruction.

Critical literacy theory is introduced, together with information about how to include critical literacy in literacy instruction, assessment, and intervention.

Discussions of multimodal literacy explore how teachers can help their students develop these skills through interventions that incorporate multiple types of student response and assessment to measure such responses.

Scenarios featuring real teachers bookend the chapters and ground the content in an authentic context.

Chapter-opening vignettes feature guiding questions, which tie the scenarios to chapter content and provide a purpose for reading; chapter-ending vignettes, with reflective-learning questions, provide opportunities for readers to think back on the chapter content and apply what they ve learned.

Other Key Features:

A section on motivation, which presents reasons for the decline in motivation to read and specific ways teachers can address this decline.

Detailed information on designing checklists and rubrics. Sample checklists are provided throughout the relevant chapters (and Appendix C includes more than 50 additional assessment tools).

More than 150 intervention activities, many of which are designed to be used with children's literature. Instructions and visuals for creating the strategies and activities described throughout the book are included in Appendix D.

Two additional appendices that provide helpful resources, book lists, pronunciation guides, common word families, and frequently used suffixes and prefixes.

About the Author:
Beverly DeVries, Ed.D., has been teaching at Southern Nazarene University in Oklahoma since 1993. She teaches reading diagnosis and primary and elementary literature/language arts. In all her courses, she demonstrates how teachers can use authentic assessment and instruction, using quality children's literature. She is presently on the Standards and Ethics Committee of the International Reading Association (IRA) and is the reading specialist on the Oklahoma Commission Program Advisory Board. She presents workshops on Writing Successful Reading Program Reports at the state and national level.

DeVries received her Ed.D. from Oklahoma State University. Before beginning her college teaching career, she spent most of her years in the middle school, teaching composition and reading. It was during those years that she recognized the importance of early literacy intervention.
Review:
I am really excited about the inclusion of motivation and self-efficacy. Many times we as university professors look over the obvious, like motivation, but we must remember it is not always obvious to inexperienced preservice teachers. . . . . The suggestions for motivating children to read will be a section that university candidates may look back on after graduation, when they have their own classrooms and need ideas. --Jerilou Moore, University of Mississippi

The attention to second language learners is one of this text's strengths. I particularly like that these learners and appropriate instructional strategies are provided in each chapter. --Jacqueline Peck, University of Akron

In one of my other courses where my students learn to do textbook evaluations, I brought in all the textbook options we were considering for this course, and allowed my students . . . to give their input into the decision. DeVries' book overwhelmingly won the approval of my students. Some of them who will not be taking the Assessment class asked if they could purchase the book anyway, wanting it for a teacher resource. That speaks very highly of this textbook, as students rarely get excited about purchasing textbooks that are not mandatory! --DiAnn McDown, University of Central Oklahoma
