Richard Allington's What Really Matters in Response to Intervention is a clear, insightful, maybe even inspiring, look at response to intervention. In this book, Allington focuses on reading interventions and thoughtfully chronicles not only what struggling readers need but also how schools can address those needs.Most importantly, Allington argues (very effectively) that bought, packed curriculum don't help struggling readers catch up. Rather, struggling readers need to read books at the appropriate level all doing the school day to make significant gains in reading.
