Next STEPS in Literacy Instruction: Connecting Assessments to Effective Interventions

Looking for the next steps in improving literacy instruction? Our Next STEPS in Literacy Instruction: Connecting Assessments to Effective Interventions book has you covered. Developed by highly respected experts Smartt and Glaser, this reader-friendly teaching guide is designed to make the next steps of literacy instruction clear and easy for K–6 educators.

With a focus on response to intervention, our book provides explicit instructions on designing Tier II and Tier III small-group instruction, and monitoring student progress. All the suggested interventions have been extensively field-tested during nationwide trainings conducted by the authors. So you can trust that they get real results with minimal planning.

Organized by the "big five" ideas identified by the National Reading Panel - phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension - our book is packed with practice activities that are directly linked to each big idea. This ensures that lessons are well-rounded and comprehensive, enabling teachers to integrate all five big ideas during instruction.

Our book is based on the latest, most reliable research and best practices. We know that educators not only need to know how to teach, but also what to teach in order to make students better readers. That's why our guidebook provides clear explanations on both aspects, taking the guesswork out of intervention.

All of the interventions suggested in our book are quick and creative, using materials most teachers already have. They effectively target the specific "trouble spots" that literacy assessments have identified. With the classroom vignettes and sample teacher-student dialogues, educators will have adaptable models for their own classroom interactions.
