Winner of the English Speaking Union's Duke of Edinburgh Book Competition in 1992, this intermediate and upper-intermediate ELT course has as one of its objectives the encouragement of student participation by inviting opinion and discussion. The organization of the individual units is designed to ensure that students and teachers can see immediately what they are doing and why. The materials consist of student's books, teacher's books, workbooks and cassettes. Each teacher's book includes the whole of the corresponding student's book, with facing-page teaching notes, photocopiable progress tests and tapescripts. The workbooks provide reinforcement exercises and progress tests.
This user-friendly volume provides evidence-based tools for meeting the needs of the approximately 15%of K to 6 students who would benefit from more support than is universally offered to all students but do not require intensive, individualized intervention.

Step-by-step guidelines are presented for screening, selecting interventions, and progress monitoring. Ways to involve families and ensure that practices are culturally responsive are described.
