From an interactive perspective, including holistic and balanced instruction, this book provides numerous examples and thorough coverage of procedures for assessing and instructing struggling readers of all ages. In keeping with current theory, the book emphasizes prevention and early intervention. It is based on the premise that student performance is variable and that assessment and instruction are planned and modified to meet the varied needs and levels of students. Gunning does not subscribe to a medical model that emphasizes deficiencies, but rather focuses on what students can do. This book calls for inclusion, not exclusion, but recognizes that struggling learners need expert, carefully planned assessment and instruction. For Language Arts teachers.
