Recommending and designing a reading intervention

The reading intervention needs to teach knowledge in the areas noted in our model of reading:

Teaching literacy knowledge, the knowledge of written text Teaching readers how to manage their literacy activity Teaching oral language knowledge
teaching the conventions of writing fostering beliefs about how one reads and writes, why it is useful teaching reading and writing strategies

 

We need teaching in each of these areas at each of the levels of literacy. To teach the literacy knowledge, we need to look at two aspects: the teaching conditions that help readers improve their knowledge of reading and the content to teach.
