This book will provide a clear understanding on how to connect assessment and instruction and specifically to tie informal reading inventory assessment and intervention instruction together. It is written with the firm belief that a student's performance on an evaluation instrument should be specifically connected to instruction in the intervention sessions that follow. Arguing that there is a disconnect between the assessment of reading and the design of instructional activities to improve it, renowned authors of the Qualitative Reading Inventory, JoAnne Caldwell and Lauren Leslie, discuss how this disconnect stands in the way of implementing effective programs for struggling readers. The book is packed with workable activities for intervention sessions based upon specific assessment results in every chapter. It also provides examples of generic lesson plan structures in which a variety of strategies could be inserted.

This review is from: Intervention Strategies to Follow Informal Reading Inventory Assessment: So What Do I Do Now? (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Five years ago, when the 1st edition came out, I was bowled over with the amount of pertinent information that this teacher resource provided! The information shaped the kind of reading specialist that I have become. It became my bible and helped me to navigate through helping parents whose 5th graders were really struggling with expository texts....creating expository maps for their kids....helping teachers realize the importance of idea maps, etc. etc., etc.
Two weeks ago, I purchased this 2nd edition and it also has such timely, pertinent information. It is my new bible! Updated, timely. The authors have outdone themselves. Don't walk, run to your nearest outlet for this incredible resource!
