Understanding Reading Problems: Assessment and Instruction (8th Edition)

Abstract

Understanding Reading Problems: Assessment and Instruction (8th Edition) serves the needs of classroom teachers in teaching and assessing reading and writing skills. The focus of this book is on providing tools, strategies, and well-informed diagnostic judgment skills for teachers to monitor students’ literacy development. In this eighth edition, the concepts and the principles that guided the development of the first seven editions have been strengthened and expanded. Many of the chapters in this edition have been re-ordered into a developmental sequence, with chapters on emergent, beginning and fledgling, developing and mature readers and writers in order in the first half of the book. There are also two new chapters: Chapter 2 and Chapter 9.
