Ages 7-10
Supporting Struggling Readers & Writers: Strategies for Classroom Intervention
Dorothy S. Strickland, Kathy Ganske & Joanne K. Monroe
For most pupils, years 3 to 6 are their last chance to avoid ongoing failure in reading and writing.
These years are a critical bridge to middle school where teaching is less personalised and focused on individual needs. This resource provides the best research-based practice on literacy learning and methods of teaching low-achieving pupils.
Exploring the factors that contribute to success and failure in literacy and with systematic approaches for helping those most at risk, this title provides:
- effective and easy to implement teaching practices for the key aspects of literacy instruction
- recommendations for motivating low-achieving pupils
- suggestions for working with ELT/ESL pupils
- strategies for small-group instruction, word study, reading comprehension and writing
- clear descriptions and case studies that illustrate teaching practices in action
- ideas for integrating interventions for struggling students within classroom instruction
- more than twenty practical step-by-step strategies
- resources with extensive lists of children's books and sources of books, organised by purpose
This essential resource will help you improve the reading and writing development of the most perplexing and needy children in your classroom.
