Teaching Older Nonreaders How To Read.
Horowitz, Jeff
Reading Teacher, v54 n1 p24-26 Sep 2000
Uses the example of a 12-year-old nonreader to review fundamental principles essential to teaching seriously disabled preadolescent nonreaders. Argues that teachers must begin with an acute awareness of how students feel; accurately access strengths and weaknesses; find starting points that will guarantee initial success; be clear about time constraints; identify and use appropriate materials; and keep objectives realistic.
