There were too many notations and highlighting so much that I could not read several chapters. It looked great on the outside.

This text gives step by step details on how to conduct a reading inventory. It is an ideal text for literacy teachers who are not familiar with how to proceed with this type of assessment. The information is easy to follow because it is not cluttered with a lot of technical jargon.It tests students' skills in word recognition, reading by analogy, fluency and comprehension. In each of these components it tells you where to begin testing, how to administer the test, how to score the test and how to interpret the scores. More importantly, it provides examples that guides you through the entire process.This a great book when you are required to assess a large group of students in a limited amount of time.

This was the text for my masters class and it did it’s job. Very knowledgeable

This was an ok book I used for a textbook. Needs to be a bit more attention grabbing

Really good material. I ordered it for my reading strategies course at school. It was easy to follow and my instructor used it often. This will be one I keep on the shelf for future reference.

I love this book! Very detailed but short and to the point.

This book details strategies to address various reading deficiencies. The explanations are clear and are backed by research by notable experts. What is most useful to me is the table in the back which is a quick reference for identifying which interventions are best for elementary, middle school, RtI, English Language Learners, etc. This was my Bible when handling secondary RtI. This should be on every reading interventionist's bookshelf.
