Inhaltsangabe

Updated and reorganized to be even more useful, this popular book's twenty-nine chapters divided into six major sections once again provide busy in-service reading teachers the essential tools they need―specific, concrete methods―for diagnosing reading difficulties and determining how to correct them. The authors' easy-to-read language effectively explains what to do in the diagnostic/remedial process; and twenty-four exceptionally thorough appendices offer hands-on tools for doing it. While individual instruction is clearly identified as the ideal, numerous strategies are also offered for both small- and large-group instruction. Emphasis is on direct instruction, motivational learning activities, and “practice, practice, practice.”  It also features:

• Reordered coverage–Addresses decoding (sight vocabulary, phonics, structural analysis, and context clues) before oral reading.
• Set of tests for phonemic awareness–Includes tests for rhyming ability, initial sound recognition, phoneme blending, and phoneme segmentation.
• A chapter on phonemic awareness–Matches specific instructional procedures to specific phonemic skills.
• An appendix, Books for Emergent Readers.
• Test for assessing older students and adults.
