About this Item

Instructing Students Who Have Literacy Problems has long been valued by instructors who prefer a book that is research-based--one providing equal treatment to research and theory and to practical, appealing research-supported instructional strategies teachers can use in their classrooms. It also reflects a balanced view of literacy instruction, comprehensively covering both word study and comprehension. Four complete chapters on formal and informal assessment, plus multiple instructional chapters, allow professors the option of using the book for one inclusive course, or, using it across two courses in those universities where diagnosis and instruction are taught separately. Many case studies of students, as well as vignettes of teachers in action, illustrate real-world applications of the textbook content.
