Reading Intervention Case Studies for School Psychologists

Reading Intervention Case Studies for School Psychologists provides vivid, real-world examples of school-based interventions targeting students’ phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension in reading. Students struggling with reading benefit greatly from attentive school psychologists, whose practices are necessarily informed by substantive demonstrations of intervention planning, implementation, and outcomes. This book offers a rich variety of applied reading interventions in school settings, spanning strategies such as incidental teaching, word boxes, peer tutoring, taped words, story-mapping, and beyond. Each case includes thorough descriptions of the specific area of concern, detailed intervention protocols, data collection and analysis methods, and tips for ensuring social acceptability and treatment integrity. School psychologists, along with related professionals in special education, general education, and speech-language pathology, will come away with new insights into this comprehensive set of well-researched and frequently applied reading interventions.
