Intervention Central, 2001. — 52 p.; illustrated.From the author:I created the manual, The Savvy Teacher’s Guide: Reading Interventions That Work, for classroom instructors who need to have a range of reading interventions available for students with diverse learning needs.
The great majority of the interventions described in this manual were selected because they had been cited as effective in the recent National Reading Panel (2000) report, a comprehensive meta-analysis of successful reading strategies.
All interventions presented here are research-based. In most cases, I attempted to reconstruct the reading strategy from the cited research articles with few if any changes. In some instances, however, I did make adaptations to the interventions to make them more classroom-friendly. — Jim Wright.Introduction.
