The book distills many different approaches to teaching students with reading problems, presenting them in an approachable, balanced and readable format. Early chapters present general information on the reading process, problem readers, assessment and the principles of instruction. Later chapters provide in-depth information on strategies for teaching various parts of the literacy process and conclude with chapters detailing 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, multicultural strategies, and extensive descriptions of tests. The needs of adolescents and adults are also emphasized.
For reading teachers or specialists.
“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
