During a period in which there is a heightened public attention towards children encountering challenges in learning to read, Bursuck and Damer’s Instruction in Reading for Students Who Are at Risk or Have Disabilities, 3/e achieves a remarkable feat by responding to the imperative to facilitate the success of all students in reading. In its recently updated Third Edition, this text outlines, in a lucid, methodical manner, how to execute a systematic, overt, achievement-focused approach for instructing struggling readers in today’s schools that prioritize accountability. In a recent assessment aligned with the Common Core Standards in Early Reading, this book was acknowledged as one of the few textbooks that “comprehensively and rigorously cover the scientific basis and instructional elements of the five crucial components of effective reading instruction.” Threaded throughout the text are authentic, research-validated, reality-based strategies, accessible language and video demonstrations, and assessments of student comprehension.
