Effective Reading Strategies by Timothy V Rasinski
Useful for reading assessment, diagnosis, and remediation courses, this text offers prospective teachers instructional strategies and interesting activities to develop and strengthen the reading skills of children who find reading difficult, whatever the reason. The authors have grouped strategies around key reading instruction areas."The chapters that describe strategies for discrete reading behaviors (eg., words, fluency, comprehension) provide ...a wealth of instructional support through an excellent collection of activities." — Evangeline Newton, University of Akron
"A strength of the book is its practicality-teachers could use these strategies immediately and fit them into their existing curriculum." — Elizabeth Sturtevant, George Mason University
