Whether you are a teacher, a principal, a reading specialist or coach, a school leader, or an administrator, you will learn how to: make the most effective use of&—and improve on&—what core programs provide; incorporate elements like motivation and oral language development into your instruction, which core programs tend to neglect; analyze the intervention programs for struggling readers and ELLs that now accompany most core reading programs, and critique the program's assessments and construct an effective assessment system."--Publisher.
