Intervention Strategies to Follow Informal Reading Inventory Assessment: So What Do I Do Now?

by JoAnne Caldwell, Lauren Leslie

This book will provide a clear understanding on how to connect assessment and instruction and specifically to tie informal reading inventory assessment and intervention instruction together. It is written with the firm belief that a student's performance on an evaluation instrument should be specifically connected to instruction in the intervention sessions that follow. Arguing that there is a disconnect between the assessment of reading and the design of instructional activities to improve it, renowned authors of the Qualitative Reading Inventory , JoAnne Caldwell and Lauren Leslie, discuss how this disconnect stands in the way of implementing effective programs for struggling readers. The book is packed with workable activities for intervention sessions based upon specific assessment results in every chapter. It also provides examples of generic lesson plan structures in which a variety of strategies could be inserted.

AWESOME resource that answers the question of "What do I do now that I know where my kids are struggling?" This book offers specific strategies that can be incorporated whole class, small group, centers/stations or one on one. Great ideas to share with parents when they ask what can I do to help my child become a better reader. Well worth the money and time. Organized and easy to read. Easy to find specific strategies too.
