Intended for
teachers and administrators, this book examines systematic observation
of reading behaviors and reading recovery procedures to help children
with reading problems. Part one deals with systematic observation,
beginning with a discussion of the reading process and reading programs.
Following that, it describes the use of the diagnostic survey--including
strategies both for using the "running record" and for
testing--and concludes with strategies for summarizing the diagnostic
survey results. Part two focuses on reading recovery--a program
for early intervention--and includes chapters on organizing to prevent
reading failure, reducing reading difficulties with a second chance
to learn, understanding the various aspects of the reading recovery
program, reading recovery teaching procedures, and deciding when
to discontinue children from the program. The final chapter contains
summaries of six projects that make up the program and a summary
of the entire reading recovery program. The appendixes contain summary
sheets, test score sheets, reading recovery teaching sheets (for
New Zealand children), and a stanine score summary sheet. (EL)
