The Literacy Tutor's Handbook:
A Guide for Planning, Assessment, and Instruction

Maurice Kaufman, Northeastern University
Turn to this comprehensive new guide for up-to-the-minute information on implementing effective literacy tutoring in the elementary through middle grades. Using the book's authoritative assessment and instructional strategies, tutors develop their own understanding of language and principles of learning and see how to turn this knowledge into effective tutoring. The resource's practical approach addresses five areas of reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension. The author includes illustrative examples, activities, website listings, sample lessons, and sound advice in a logical, step-by-step format that guides the literacy tutor based on the level of the student. Reproducible forms strengthen suggested lessons, and the appendices provide a quick reference to key grammatical rules.
