"To help teachers connect students' performance and evaluation to instruction, best-selling authors JoAnne Caldwell and Lauren Leslie outline practical intervention strategies that are aligned with any informal reading inventory. Written with the firm belief that a student's performance on any evaluation instrument should be specifically connected to instruction in the intervention sessions that follow, this book provides a clear understanding of how to connect assessment and instruction and specifically tie informal reading inventory assessment and intervention instruction together. Arguing that there is a disconnect between the assessment of reading and the design of instructional activities to improve it, the renowned authors of the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI), JoAnne and Lauren discuss how this disconnect stands in the way of implementing effective programs for struggling readers. Intervention strategies guide teachers to connect assessment results on an informal reading inventory with specific aspects of intervention instruction. Intervention Strategies to Follow Informal Reading Inventory Assessment is ideal for teachers seeking a systematic perspective to how intervention should be based on assessment."--publisher website.

"In this book, structured literacy is conceptualized as an umbrella term encompassing a variety of intervention methods, instructional approaches, and commercial programs.

Chapters were written with a strong foundation of research that is summarized, but with a concentration on translating research into practice, including case studies, sample intervention activities, and lesson plans. Each chapter includes application activities at the end to check for and extend readers' understanding"--
