Quotes

“The author is well aware of what teachers need to do in order to provide effective intervention to improve students’ reading progress. In my opinion, this text is not only meaningful for classroom teachers, but also…principals.”
–Donna Schweitzer, Reading Specialist, Forwood Elementary School, Wilmington, DE

“[Dr. Allington has a] great grasp of what a classroom needs! While the interventions called for result in 1 on 3 or 1 on 1 groupings, the information about access to books, funding, coordinating and enhancing has direct implications. Dr. Allington draws on research and lays the foundation for action. Plain speaking…elegantly stated.”
—Barry Hoonan, Bainbridge Island School District, Bainbridge Island, WA
