Locating and Correcting Reading Difficulties

According to the expert reviewers at the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), this textbook does a good job comprehensively addressing the five key components of early reading instruction (phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension) for future elementary teachers. We recommend it! - A resource for both pre-service teachers and experienced teachers - All essential components covered - Assessments and instructional recommendations are scientifically based, though no research references are providedNCTQ is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit research and policy organization that is committed to ensuring that every child has access to effective teachers and every teacher has the opportunity to become effective. We conduct research to assist states, districts, and teacher prep programs with teacher quality issues. We don’t just call attention to what's wrong, but offer concrete solutions to help solve teacher quality challenges. Pointing out good and bad textbooks used in teacher preparation in reading is one such solution.

Search funciton will not work within this text so it's difficult to swap between subjects and for a class that requires word by word quizzes, it's useless.

I have used this along with the ARI and McAndrews' Diagnostic Literacy Assessments and Instructional Strategies to help students. I like that it provides very specific information for a wide variety of difficulties and includes assessments, recommendations, games and exercises, and references. A very helpful book for the reading teacher k-12.

Truly a great resource for teaching literacy to students of all school ages.

The best resource for reading teachers!!! It ensures student success with its diverse strategies to promote proficient readers.

Used this book with a class I just finished. The book is extremely informative, well-organized and helpful to those teaching students to read. The book has great suggestions and actual activities for helping struggling readers overcome their specific problems.

Great resource.
