The paper reports a synthesis of intervention studies conducted between 1994 and 2004 with older students (Grades 6-12) with reading difficulties. The authors extended the synthesis to include all struggling readers, not just those with identified learning disabilities. Interventions addressing decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension were included if they measured the effects on reading comprehension. 29 studies were located and synthesized.Implications for comprehension instruction for older struggling readers are described.
