The Howard Street Tutoring Manual is the leading text focused on
the training of reading tutors. The second edition provides
enhanced case study examples and detailed, step-by-step directions
regarding instructional techniques and materials for use with
struggling readers. This book is a 'must read' for classroom
teachers and paraprofessionals desiring to enrich their reading
instruction, for volunteer tutors, and for anyone wishing to
create, expand, or refine current school or community tutoring
programs.--Jessica G. Bevans, Brigham Young University
This revised second edition is a 'must' for any educator working
with struggling readers and any teacher educator developing reading
methods or intervention courses. Morris’s strong theoretical
background and decades of experience as a reading clinician allow
him to expertly weave the 'how' and the 'why' of reading
intervention into a text that is sure to be used as a professional
resource time and time again. Moreover, many of the basic tutoring
components can be transferred to small-group instruction.--Kathleen
J. Brown, PhD, University of Utah Reading Clinic
If you’re a teacher looking for a tutoring manual to use with your
struggling readers, a professor seeking a text for a course on
tutoring, or a parent or literacy volunteer working one on one with
a child, then this remains the first (and perhaps only) book you
should read. Morris speaks directly to anyone who has an interest
in helping struggling readers.--Sam Miller, PhD, Department of
Curriculum and Instruction, School of Education, University of
North Carolina-Greensboro
The Howard Street Tutoring Manual is a 'must read' for anyone
implementing a tutoring program for struggling readers. In this
second edition, Darrell Morris, a leading expert in the field of
early reading, details the practices and procedures for a
successful tutoring intervention. Through careful and thoughtful
explanation, this how-to manual makes it possible to train
motivated people with varying skills to help young children achieve
the difficult task of learning to read.--Barbara A. Wasik, PhD,
Center for Social Organization of Schools, Johns Hopkins
University
- I found this book to be a comprehensive refresher in the
structure and function of tutoring sessions....Will be quite useful
for tutors, and can be a handy reference for trainers in tutoring
programs. There is a great deal of useful material....The Manual
assimilates a tremendous amount of information in one volume, and
for a volunteer tutor who may not be trained in education, it will
be a useful reference....The book is a well-researched, incredibly
useful resource for working with at-risk readers, complete with
materials, books to use, and guidance in assessing a student's
progress. --Education Review, 1/8/2005
