Individual Differences in Response to Early Interventions in Reading: The Lingering Problem of Treatment Resisters.

Torgesen, Joseph K.

Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, v15 n1 p55-64 Win 2000

Five recent studies of methods to prevent reading difficulties are examined. It is estimated that current methods would leave 2 to 6 percent of children with inadequate word reading skills in the first and second grades. Several broad characteristics of these "treatment resisters" are identified and implications are discussed. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
