Scaffolding a Crucial Transition Using Text with Some Decodability.
Mesmer, Heidi Anne E.
Reading Teacher, v53 n2 p130-42 Oct 1999
Outlines one struggling second-grade reader's abilities and reading strategies, and initial instructional efforts with her. Discusses how the author determined a mismatch existed between her teaching, the teaching materials, and the child. Shows how a change of materials--to the use of decodable text accompanied by reflective, systematic, consistent, and responsive teaching--helped the student. (SR)
