Despite the emphasis on reading instruction as a crucial component of academic success, the authors of this piece report that some 50% of students with reading disabilities fail to make adequate progress. This article overviews data-based decision making (DDBM) as a means through which to intensify instruction and help students to reach their learning goals. Step-by-step instructions for collecting and interpretation data are included.
