This classic text introduced the framework for the current Response to Intervention (RTI) initiative. Now that federal education policy has caught up with the research and reform models first presented here over a decade ago, this special edition of No Quick Fix is of critical importance to today’s teachers, principals, administrators, policymakers, and everyone interested in creating schools where all students learn to read. Outlining the key factors essential for effective reform of early literacy programs, this groundbreaking resource presents:

  • A framework for the comprehensive redesign of early reading instruction and early intervention services.
  • Proven national models of early intervention, including Reading Recovery, along with their impacts on reducing referrals for special education services.
  • A unified intervention delivery model that calls for an end to fragmented special services.
  • A more cost-effective means of intervention that meets the needs of instructionally needy children.
