Literacy Intervention in the Middle Grades

No two older struggling readers are identical, and many struggle with literacy for different reasons. Using a teacher-friendly, hands-on approach, this eminently practical book walks educators through the nuts and bolts of literacy intervention in the middle grades. Highlights include "North Star" principles to orient instruction, an assessment flowchart, extended case studies, sample lesson plans, and clear, engaging figures. The book offers evidence-based practices for targeting specific literacy components, including word recognition, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Teachers are guided to plan structured but flexible interventions that promote literacy growth and engagement.
