"Finally, lesson-by-lesson, step-by-step guidance for effective literacy instruction for struggling readers!

"Morris is the voice of experience when it comes to children who struggle with reading. In this remarkable book, he makes a convincing case for every teacher of reading to be trained in clinical diagnosis and correction. Morris integrates his vast knowledge about teaching children to read with his insights about training teachers. The result is a direct, engaging, thorough manual for teachers and tutors of students from the primary grades through middle school. The detailed case studies of interrelated reading, writing, and word study lessons based on careful assessment are wonderful."
-Jo Worthy, PhD, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Texas at Austin
