The key is to focus on the children and the practices we know help them to read at each grade level,' says Barbara Taylor. These foundational beliefs have been the focus of Barbara Taylor's career and inspired her to create the Early Intervention in Reading (EIR) process. After more than two decades of classroom practice and refinement, Barbara Taylor has translated her EIR process into the Catching Readers series (Grades K, 1, 2, 3, and 45).Powerful Intervention Strategies for Your Classroom Daily, smallgroup interventions help struggling kindergarteners read on level by spring.
