Abstract of

Beginning Reading Instruction and the Small-Group Differentiated Reading Model

Beverly Tyner

In this chapter, the author explains the development of and need for the small-group differentiated reading model. Then, she provides a detailed explanation of the model and its components. The model is differentiated by the five stages new readers pass through (emergent, beginning, fledgling, transitional, and independent) and by instructional strategies (rereading, word bank, word study, writing, and new read).
