Successful Reading Assessments and Interventions for Struggling Readers: Lessons from Literacy Space

Each struggling reader has a unique combination of strengths and areas that require targeted instruction. Through their work with teachers and children in an after-school tutoring program, the authors have identified six types of struggling readers and offer suggestions for assessment and instruction for each type. The book imparts lessons learned from the tutoring program that are applicable to the classroom and beyond, suggesting how teachers can reach out to and involve parents, caregivers, and families.
