Reading Intervention Case Studies for School Psychologists

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Wow! This book is an outstanding resource for school psychologists and other school professionals searching for evidence-based reading interventions and real-world examples of how to use them in practice. The strategies covered within are comprehensive in nature, covering all reading problems commonly exhibited by students, including phonological awareness, phonics, oral reading fluency, and reading comprehension. Written in accessible language and organized intuitively by reading intervention strategy, each chapter includes intervention materials, intervention plans, progress monitoring resources, and treatment fidelity guides that can be used to direct one's own intervention processes. This book will surely be an invaluable source for both school-based practitioners and trainers of school psychologists alike for many years to come!

"Reading is the most fundamental academic skill that students learn in school, yet many students are struggling readers in need of additional or enhanced instructional support. Embedded within a multi-tiered framework and systematic problem-solving model, Coolong-Chaffin, Hawkins, and Axelrod have curated fourteen distinct, evidence-based, and informative instructional strategies for reading. The rich case studies highlight each strategy's basis in research with consideration given to intervention selection, implementation, and evaluation. Pragmatic resources are provided in every chapter, allowing for immediate application by school psychologists and related service providers supporting implementation. The result is a must-have resource for educators supporting reading instruction and intervention in the schools, and trainees who will do so in the future."
