Assessment for Reading Instruction, Third Edition 3rd by Michael C McKennaby Michael C. McKenna (Author), Katherine A. Dougherty Stahl (Author) ISBN-13: 9781462533596 ISBN-10: 1462533590This third edition of Assessment for Reading Instruction appears more than 6 yearsafter the second edition was published. During that time, a number of importantdevelopments have made it essential to revise and expand the book.The Importance of Response to InterventionOne development has been the increasing prominence of response to intervention (RTI).In order to assist educators in their efforts to implement a system that is both functionaland practical, we published a companion book, Reading Assessment in an RTI Framework(Stahl & McKenna, 2013). In it we describe how key assessments can be used topropel an effective RTI system. As we wrote, we critically examined the informal instrumentsincluded in the second edition. In this new edition, we consequently discardedseveral and put new or revised assessments in their place. The result is a two-book combinationthat we feel will serve the needs of educators who are dedicated to making RTIwork. The assessments included in the third edition dovetail better than ever with thethree tiers of RTI.
