Description:

This open access book describes the Reading Success project, involving a 5-step, assessment-to- intervention process for systematically and accurately identifying the reading profiles of students within a primary school to better support those students who struggle with reading.

It provides an easily accessible overview of each step of the process and highlights the crucial importance of collaboration between professionals involved in the teaching of reading within a school setting. It focuses on the decision-making processes used, such as rich dialogue with the leadership team and teachers, as well as practical outcomes relating to sustained reading outcomes for students in the school. Using case studies, the book describes how the 5-step approach assists in creating detailed profiles of students’ strengths and weaknesses in spoken and written language skills that can be used to guide targeted intervention.

This book offers valuable insights for educators, speech pathologists, researchers, and pre-service teacher education students interested in the teaching of reading

" The research reported in this book should be of interest to all teachers who want to improve the literacy outcomes of their students. The authors have undertaken challenging research in real Australian classrooms. Working with teachers, speech pathologists, school leadership teams and students, they describe and present results from a carefully designed research project that spanned two school years. Using a mixture of methods involving statistical analyses of results as well as in-depth interviews, the authors present findings that are important and relevant for teachers of reading and literacy in Years 1 to 4. Teachers who are motivated to do a better job for their students will find compelling approaches that can be adapted in their own classrooms. The authors provide excellent examples of up-to-date research and how this can be translated into practice. I recommend the book to all teachers of junior primary school students.
