Does this book, Reading with the Troubled Reader help you to pinpoint the particular difficulty the reader is dealing with and does it offer ways to remediate? Would it work with upper elementary? I have never heard of the book or the author and you mentioned using it with older readrs. Thanks. Leslie

A book I found tremendously helpful with older struggling readers is Reading with the Troubled Reader by Margaret Phinney. I was the inclusion teacher at 5/6 so had a cluster (7-8) with students identified for RSVP. Of course I had other struggling readers in my class as well. This book helped me so much first with identifying the main struggle and then with strategies for emphasizing, differentiating. I highly recommend trying it.
