This exciting textbook implements a systematic, explicit, success-oriented approach for teaching struggling readers in today’s accountability-driven schools. Organized according to the Reading First categories of reading development and instruction as presented in the report of the National Reading Panel, teachers will appreciate the authentic, research-validated reality-based strategies and the accessible language used throughout. The public focus on children who struggle with learning to read has never been greater. Bursuck and Damer have done an extraordinary job of answering that exact charge–to help all students succeed at reading–in writing Teaching Reading to Students Who Are at Risk or Have Disabilities.

Hallmarks of the Second Edition:

• Authentic, proven strategies! All strategies are research-based, and have been field- tested with at-risk children in both rural and urban teaching settings.

•  NEW! Covers the 5 key elements of reading, delineated in the National Reading Panel Report. Teachers will learn how to differentiate instruction within each of these areas for a range of learners, using systematic, explicit teaching strategies within a multi-tier RTI framework.
• NEW! Unique chapter vignettes! Each profiles a student with their personal story, IEP goals and objectives in reading, and tips for differentiating instruction for this child!
• Reflective Teacher features! Allows teachers to be privy to the thoughts as well as the actions of effective teachers, rendering the strategies much more understandable and applicable.
• “Research to Practice” features! Explain how scientifically-based principles of teaching reading translate into day-to-day instructional practice.
