Full Description
From Floundering to Fluent: Reaching and Teaching Struggling Readers was written for educational practitioners and specialists, particularly classroom teachers and school administrators, as well as family and community members who are firmly committed to the reading development and academic success of all students, but particularly those who struggle with the act of reading. This book primarily focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of the kinds of difficulties that can attend the reading process, especially for at-risk readers and those with reading disabilities.
