Intervention Reinvention
Expanding on the research, theory, and practice showcased in From Striving to Thriving, this book tackles the “overlabeling” inherent in RTI, and builds a case for voluminous independent reading as the best intervention for all children. The authors offer an easy-to-use decisionmaking guide that begins with key questions, leads you to make pinpointed observations about your striving readers, and then offers targeted lessons and actions you can take to help them make gains―and learn to love reading!

A professional text that acknowledges school librarians as essential literacy leaders! Well done, Scholastic!

I would love for every teacher to read Harvey’s, Ward’s, Hoddinott’s, and Carroll’s 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘈 𝘝𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦-𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴. It was suggested to our teacher librarian group by a colleague. The Instructional Leadership Team at her school read it together. Then she gave a really impressive presentation to the School Board about the book and how her school library can impact readers.
I loved pretty much everything about the book, with the exception that it talked more about classroom libraries than school libraries. A basic premise is that in order for kids to get better at reading, they have to have time to read. It’s not a shocking statement but with all of the distractions, curriculum minutes, technology and other, a lot of kids really aren’t given that uninterrupted time to do just that - practice reading real books. In recent years, there has been a huge push for kids to read a certain words per minute (wpm). Ask any elementary-aged kid and they can probably tell you their wpm number. Well, if we take that number and then connect it to books, we should see kids reading a lot of books. But, for a myriad of reasons, we don’t see as many kids reading books as we’d like.
The book calls for schools to have a significant reading culture and community- one where teachers model their own reading practices and who make reading fun, thus giving kids a reason to want to do it themselves. The book advocates for strong partnerships between home and school, lots of kidwatching and noticing by the teachers, and time devoted to checking in on kids and their reading habits, preferences, and choices.
5/5 stars

I can see this book sitting on a teacher's shelf of go-to resources: coming back to the assessments and practices as they constantly support students as readers. Intervention Reinvention is an important innovation for not only helping striving readers, but to also rethink a school's approach to developing engaged, literate individuals.
