Variability, Not Disability
註釋This book recounts personal experiences at the University of Iowa summer reading program from 1988 to 1994 and the children in the program who are all viewed as "reading disabled." The children ranged in age from 8 to 12 years and in reading ability from recognizing fewer than 15 words to reading at a late second or early third grade level. The summer reading program, which operates as a workshop classroom, emphasizes children's abilities and assumes that they can do many things, including learning to read. The book discusses how to implement a workshop format for instruction, which is flexible enough to accommodate the wide variability in students' abilities. Research supporting this type of instruction is explained, information on direct instruction and writing is provided, and the record-keeping system is outlined. The book concludes with a section on Resources by Paula O. Brandt, an author index, and a subject index. Contains 61 references. (NKA)
