Review
"The information provided in the text would be useful for anyone who wants to improve their students' reading skills. All schools are looking at ways to improve their school's report card from the state. Reading is a big part of that report card." --Diana L. Carr, Elgin Junior High School, Green Camp, OH
Book Description
The Response to Intervention initiative has risen to the top of today’s instructional agenda and yet it is a process that is unfamiliar terrain for many teachers. To help teachers acquire a fuller understanding of the complexity of response to intervention designs, literacy researcher and best-selling author Dick Allington offers clear recommendations to guide classroom teachers in designing response to instruction (RtI) programs such that struggling readers will develop their reading proficiencies to match those of their achieving peers. Unlike any other book on the topic, Dick Allington provides a research-base that supports closing the reading achievement gap along with implications this has for designing RTI programs. In addition, Dick provides a comprehensive discussion of the factors that inhibit poor, disabled, and second-language learners from achieving and offers a number of research-based instructional strategies and routines for turning struggling readers into achieving readers. Teachers will be inspired and confident to design response to instruction programs!

Brilliant - every professional educator must read this,
By contessa "teacher" (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Really Matters in Response to Intervention: Research-based Designs (Paperback)
Allington continues his strong stance for research supported best practice. Every teacher and principal and administrator must read this. It uses the best and most current research. We need to revise the 19th century model of education that we currently use, and start using the best brain and learning research to support our learners.

Response to Intervention,
By V. Follett "grade 1 teacher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: What Really Matters in Response to Intervention: Research-based Designs (Paperback)
What Really Matters in Response to Intervention: Research-based Designs (What Really Matters Series)This is an excellent resource to both intervention and classroom teaching. It makes sense why we need to provide strong instruction in the primary grades if we want students to be successful readers. After completing a book study, our teachers went to their classrooms and reworked their libraries, guided reading groups and intervention groups to make to most of the school day. We are already seeing improvements in student achievement and attitudes. 24 of 26 people found the following review helpful

A Practitioner's Guide to Reading Intervention,
By M. Dominy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: What Really Matters in Response to Intervention: Research-based Designs (Paperback)
How do I set up reading intervention? How many students should I have in a group? What should students be reading outside of the literacy block? How do I increase communication between interventionists and the classroom teacher? How do I find the money to make systematic reading intervention a possibility in my school? These are all questions that I faced as a principal. I have struggled to get a straight answer through much of the other literature I have read on early literacy. Allington has answered these questions and inspired me to ask other questions in his book, What Really Matters in Response to Intervention.The message that Allington delivers in this book is that reading intervention is possible in every school and every district and the time is now to solve some of the glaring literacy issues plaguing American children. He makes excellent conclusions that many districts do have the resources already to provide the intervention; they just have to make reading intervention a priority among the stakeholders. He expands on this idea by dedicating a section of the book to avenues districts can pursue to acquire necessary resources. Allington examines some of the literacy decisions we have been making regarding interventions and suggests real alternatives to meet the needs of children. He examines great bodies of research and makes down to earth suggestions on how to text level students, provide small group intervention, and expand the amount of time that children are reading at their text level throughout the instructional day. I highly recommend this book to anyone striving to answer the questions in my first paragraph. We can meet the literacy needs of our children by using this valuable information to question our current thinking, make adjustments as necessary, and continue to refine our knowledge of reading intervention. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful

A Homerun,
By Linda S. Kidd "OClulu" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: What Really Matters in Response to Intervention: Research-based Designs (Paperback)
This book not only gives specifics about best practices for all learners, not just the struggling students, but it also tugs at the heartstrings of anyone who is seeking to create the best learning environment possible for their students. We know what that should look like. Engaged children reading books that they can read with fluency, accuracy and comprehension. This books gives us the research that holds up our core beliefs in such a way as to inform the important decisions that are sure to surround RTI. Dick has hit this one out of the park!
