This market-leading text helps teachers create engaged readers at all age levels, from primary grades through adolescence, through its comprehensive exploration of strategies for reading assessment and instruction. Heavily revised, the new edition maintains its focus on struggling readers and emphasizes classroom-based, rather than clinical, approaches. Understanding Reading Problems, 5/e, integrates case studies and a reader friendly style with the latest research.
"The new edition maintains the clear and appropriate level of writing that attracted me to this book initially...I also like very much the addition of a chapter on helping children who are not fluent in English learn to read and write." ― Mariam Jean Dreher, University of Maryland
"The strategies included in the book are excellent and explained well. This gives in-service and pre-service teachers many tools they can us to help students learn to be better readers and writers." ― Ellen Jampole, SUNY-Cortland
