Description

Techniques for Reading Assessment and Instruction is designed to be a brief but practical teaching resource that includes step-by-step strategies to help improve students' reading and teachers' reading instruction. The goals of this book are threefold: to help classroom teachers plan for reading assessment, self-assess their own instructional behaviors to improve their teaching performance, and choose appropriate instuctional techniques that make their planning of reading lessons more effective. In this book, Dr. Barbara J. Walker - a nationally recognized authority on reading difficulties - guides teachers in determining what instructional techniques should be used for classroom reading instruction and individual tutoring based on an analysis of assessment data and keen classroom observations.
