Monitoring the Academic Progress of Children Who Are Unresponsive to Generally Effective Early Reading Intervention.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McMaster, Kristen; Fuchs, Douglas; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Compton, Donald L. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2002
This article proposes a dual-discrepancy approach to identifying children who do not respond to generally effective reading instruction. Curriculum based measurement is suggested as an effective tool for detecting dual discrepancies and an example is provided from an ongoing program of research that uses the dual-discrepancy approach to identify…
