Take immediate action to raise your students’ reading
achievement. Starting now, say no to dismal reading comprehension statistics. This
professional guide was written to instantly address today’s challenging classrooms.
Using educational data to identify each student’s strengths and weaknesses is critical
to planning appropriate core instruction plus Tier 2 and 3 strategic interventions. You
will learn how to implement the multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) framework;
how to pinpoint a student’s basic reading skills; and how to continuously monitor
their progress so that you know when to use targeted curriculum materials (e.g., hi-lo
books) that support reading success.
