Synopsis

This book provides a detailed guide to identify and correct reading difficulties in upper grades and high school. It presents a three-pronged approach to effectively teach students who struggle with reading: individualized remedial training for severely affected students, corrective group lessons for students with mild difficulties, and targeted assistance for students who face difficulties reading content-heavy subjects. The author argues that reading education often halts at the end of elementary school, causing many students to progress through higher grade levels without essential literacy skills. Early detection and intervention are key to helping these students. The book analyzes symptoms of reading disabilities and their root causes, offering diagnostic techniques and outlining effective instructional methods. The author demonstrates that improving reading comprehension ties closely to overall academic performance. By understanding the mental processes of reading, such as perception, recognition, and interpretation, as well as factors influencing the speed of reading, teachers can improve instruction. Of particular note, is the section on the differences between oral and silent reading, which highlights the importance of silent reading in the contemporary classroom setting. This book is an indispensable resource for teachers looking to provide effective reading instruction to all students.
