"A smart, 'must-have' book for teachers, interventionists, and
literacy coaches. Walpole and McKenna present a roadmap for a
coordinated approach to assessment and instruction, while keeping
the focus on the needs of individual students. The volume offers
cost-effective models of instruction to meet the diverse needs of
young learners. The many reproducible lesson plans and other tools
are a bonus!"--Jennifer Allen, MEd, literacy specialist/coach,
Waterville Public Schools, Maine
"This practical book provides the specific guidance needed for
precision teaching that differentiates reading instruction in daily
practice. The authors answer the many 'how-to' questions about
planning and logistics that beginning (and even more experienced)
teachers are likely to have. The lesson plans are certain to be
well thumbed, not only as instruction-ready resources, but also as
models for creating additional lessons targeting essential skills.
This second edition will be a welcome addition to the professional
libraries of all educators who want to provide high-quality
primary-grade reading instruction."--Kathleen A. Roskos, PhD,
Department of Education and School Psychology, John Carroll
University
"The book's realistic, straightforward approach to differentiation
provides teachers a viable way to embed differentiation into the
classroom. The step-by-step plans and assessment system enhance
professional learning. Teachers will appreciate how this book helps
them plan and problem solve."--Cary B. Riches, EdD, Director of
Curriculum and Instruction (PreK-12), Brandywine School District,
Wilmington, Delaware -
