Response to Intervention (RTI) is a phrase which has captivated a national movement, redefined educational policy, and most importantly, has called for public schools to make a renewed commitment toward using scientifically-based instructional techniques as the foundation for sound educational practice. Cognitive neuropsychology has also emerged as a leading discipline in forging the inevitable alliance between science and education. The primary chapters include: Cognitive Neuropsychology and Five Dirty Words (such as "over-achievement" and "potential"), Overview of RTI (it is not new), The Phonological Processor, The Orthographic Processor, Subtypes of Dyslexia, the Comprehension Connection, Integrating RTI with Cognitive Neuropsychology, Two Models: Two Cases, 20 Evidence-Based Interventions. A book that is not to be missed by any educator interested in effective intervention and classroom instruction.
