Response to Intervention: A Framework for Reading Educators

Written with reading professionals firmly in mind, this book tells you what you need to know to implement RTI well in your school or district. Leading experts in literacy and special education describe a three-tier approach that begins with effective instruction for all children, moves to preventive tutoring through a variety of approaches, and concludes with a reformed conceptualization of special education. Key to the approach is using assessment to identify students at risk, monitor student progress, and guide appropriate instructional support. Essential reading for administrators, reading specialists, special educators, and all those working with struggling readers in U.S. schools.
