In this Research to Practice Brief, specifics of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) implementation in the classroom are described, with references to further resources.

There's also a book...
“From Clicks to Clunks” Looks interesting *for comprehension* and like one that dovetails into real literature. I like that. It has a little upper-level decoding in it, which is good too.
Sometimes it’s difficult for some to know where to go after mastery of decoding easier one/two syllable words. This isn’t explicit enough for the truly dyslexic to just “catch on” without other things added into the instruction; however, would work nicely for the ones with comprehension-related issues over decoding.
Dr. Vaughn generally puts out good stuff, I think.
Re: There's also a book...
Since reading your post, I’ve tried to find this book but to no avail. Can I get more info, e.g. full title, author, publisher? Thanks
I did get the title backward...
I believe it may be: “From Clunks to Clicks.” Here’s the website at www.sopriswest.com/ It is under the reading books in the left-side column index.
