The following aspects support the success of the Small-Group Differentiated Reading Model:
-Every group of students is given quality reading instruction and tasks that are worthwhile, valuable, and matched to students' instructional level.
-Assessment is ongoing and directly linked to instruction.
-Components of the model work interactively, building on and supporting one another.
The chapters present easy-to-implement lesson plans and activities to support the five stages of reading - emergent, beginning, fledgling, transitional, and independent - and the appendixes offer instructions on using the Early Reading Screening Instrument, word study materials, and word scramble and writing activities.
Although intended primarily for primary-grade teachers, Small-Group Reading Instruction also will interest teachers of struggling readers in grades K-5 and those in charge of reading intervention programs. The book will provide you with teaching strategies and materials to determine and address your students' literacy education needs.
