Improving Reading is perhaps the most comprehensive, useful reading resource available. It is full of ideas for professionals who work with whole classes, individual students, or groups of students. The eight chapters correlate with the main components of a comprehensive reading curriculum and the Common Core. Sections within each chapter provide teaching interventions, strategies, activities, and resources to help students overcome specific reading problems or to achieve the Common Core standards.
Teachers can use Improving Reading as they plan instruction for the Common Core and interventions for struggling readers using the Response to Intervention (RTI) model.

<ul>
<li>print concepts and phonological awareness</li>
<li>phonics and word recognition</li>
<li>fluency</li>
<li>vocabulary acquisition and use</li>
<li>basic comprehension skills</li>
<li>more specialized comprehension skills and strategies needed for literary (narrative) and informational (expository) texts</li>
</ul>
