Small-Group Reading Instruction: for Beginning and Struggling Readers

This book presents the Small-Group Differentiated Reading Model, an explicit classroom-tested and research-based model that provides effective reading instruction by combining guided reading and word study in small groups, allowing teachers to address the needs of beginning and struggling readers in a regular classroom setting. The chapters present easy-to-implement lesson plans and activities to support the five stages of reading - emergent, beginning, fledgling, transitional, and independent.
