Interventions for Reading Success
Haager, Diane; Dimino, Joseph A.; Windmueller, Michelle P.

With an extensive menu of lessons that take just 20-30 minutes, this intervention guide is the key to helping students grasp the five Big Ideas of early literacy: phonological awareness, the alphabetic principle, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. General and special educators will get: (1) easy-to-implement, one-page activities and interventions, including goals, materials, word lists, and teacher steps; (2) photocopiable take-home activities for parents to help them reinforce their children's reading skills; (3) reading intervention guidelines for any educator, whether they are teaching an entire class, small groups, or individual students who need more intensive support; (4) guidance on assessment and intervention planning, using DIBELS and other literacy assessment tools; (5) activities addressing vocabulary and language development for students who are learning English as a second language or have language delays; (6) practical tips from real teachers for implementing intervention in the classroom; and (7) research on how this classroom-based intervention can improve students' skills and help them catch up with their peers. All activities come complete with clear guidelines and suggestions and are easy to tailor to students' individual needs. Creative and versatile, this curriculum supplement will help struggling students become skillful, enthusiastic readers. Based on the tentative table of contents, following a foreword, this spiral-bound book presents 8 chapters: (1) Introduction to Reading Intervention; (2) Providing Classroom-Based Reading Intervention; (3) Using Assessment to Guide Intervention; (4) How to Use This Book: The Nuts and Bolts of Implementing Intervention; (5) Phonological Awareness (Rhyming; Onset and Rime; Segmentation and Blending); (6) Alphabetic Principle; (7) Fluency Development; and (8) Integrating Vocabulary and Comprehension Instruction into Intervention. The book concludes with an appendix, Home-School Connection Activities, and an index. [This book was produced by Brookes Publishing.]
