What do others have to say about Targeted Reading Interventions?
“Finally, a reading resource that includes all the necessary components for successful reading instruction. It is a must have for teachers and reading specialists with step by step lessons, assessments, guidance on using data to best drive instruction, and ready to use data collection forms. It is easy to read and I put it to use the very next day! I used Targeted Reading Interventions for my lesson planning and shared them with my 2nd grade team who also thought the step by step lessons were helpful. The book tied all of the information about reading up for me as far as RtI and the data wall. I think that's because the book flowed very nicely through the necessary pieces.”
Tracy Frerichs, Second Grade Teacher, Smithville Primary Elementary School, Smithville R-II School District, Smithville, Missouri
“The information in this book helped my staff move from single classrooms to a building-wide approach to improving student achievement. Our at-risk student population decreased by 12% and the number of proficient students increased 20% in just one year! The teachers in my school now have the tools to help all students learn.”
Brooke Kelly, Principal, Goose Bay Elementary, Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District, Wasilla, Alaska
“Targeted Reading Interventions has been an invaluable guide as we have developed our Response to Intervention program. The reading intervention lessons are simple to use and blend beautifully with our balanced literacy program.”
Michelle Kratofil, Director of Curriculum and Staff Development, Smithville R-II School District, Smithville, Missouri
“The reading specialists and classroom teachers in my district use this book to plan for small group interventions. It has helped accelerate the learning of struggling readers and reduce the amount of time teachers spend planning for targeted instruction.”
Debbie Kingrey, K–12 Instructional Coach, Raytown C-2 School District, Raytown, Missouri
"This book is exactly what teachers need as they look at student data in order to implement effective interventions that meet specific student needs and develop building-wide plans. I will use 'Targeted Reading Interventions' in my work with schools to improve reading achievement for all students."
