This practical text details techniques for assessing students and using assessment results to provide effective instruction. Forty sample lessons cover major skills and strategies. Focusing on low- achieving readers and writers, the author emphasizes strategies that students can use independently to improve word recognition, vocabulary knowledge, comprehension, reading in content areas, writing, and study skills. He recommends functional, systematic instruction that exists in the context of holistic reading and writing activities. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
