Description

Over the past 2 decades, considerable attention has focused on beginning reading instruction, including an emphasis on designing and implementing effective interventions to prevent reading problems in young children (Fletcher, Lyon, Fuchs, & Barnes, 2007; Torgesen, Rose, Lindamood, Conway, & Garvan, 1999; Vellutino, Scanlon, Small, & Fanuele, 2006; Wanzek & Vaughn, 2011). Findings from these studies have provided a foundation for designing appropriate instruction for students with reading difficulties and disabilities with an aim toward preventing reading problems. Despite their documented effectiveness, these interventions have either been inadequately implemented or are insufficient to prevent reading difficulties in older students. To illustrate, although recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (National Center for Education Statistics, 2007) data showed a slight gain in fourth- and eighth-grade reading comprehension scores since 1992, 26% of students still read below basic--which means that they cannot understand grade-level text.
