RTI for Reading at the Secondary Level: Recommended Literacy Practices and Remaining Questions
Grounded in the best current knowledge, this book shows how to implement response to intervention (RTI) in middle and high school contexts. Detailed guidelines are presented for teaching reading comprehension, vocabulary, and other aspects of literacy across the content areas, and for providing effective interventions for students who require additional support. The authors describe RTI procedures that are specifically tailored to the needs of struggling adolescent learners and that take into account the challenges and logistics of secondary-level implementation. The volume features 26 reproducible tools for planning, assessment, progress monitoring, and multi-tiered instruction; the large-size format facilitates photocopying.

The chapters were repetitive and offered little in terms of actual teacher practitioner solutions. However, if I were looking for a text to show administrators or school board members how a Reading Specialist/Interventionist could set up a program that included both teacher observations and Reading Intervention classes at Tier 1 and Tier 2, it would be useful. I saw Deborah Reed speak at the Region XI service center last year and found that she had much to offer in terms of practical suggestions. I wish more of these suggestions had made their way into the book. Perhaps that will be her next project.

This book offers quality templates for lit team analysis/discussion, classroom use and instructional observations.
I found the example school schedules, Who Does What chart, differentiated social studies lesson, and syllable sheets the most helpful in understanding RtI.
I wish the book had more about how RtI has been implemented at the secondary level, but I suppose the jury is still out on full HS implementation (let alone, mastery) of this framework.
