Interventions that Work: A Comprehensive Intervention Model for Preventing Reading Failure in Grades K-3 Book

Forward

Acknowledgements

Introduction

• Research on small group interventions

• Can strategy-based interventions for struggling readers change their learning trajectory so they begin to perform like successful readers? If so, what would the intervention look like? Can the intervention be implemented by classroom teachers, as well as reading specialists? Would it work with learning disabled students? If so, what would it look like for special education teachers?
