that addresses each child's unique Learning Profile
Fifteen to twenty percent of our nation's children have reading
difficulties. Educational evalua-tors must be able to use progress
monitoring and diagnostic tools effectively to identify students
who may be at risk, evaluate the effectiveness of school-wide
reading programs, and suggest interventions that will improve
reading skills. Written from a strengths-based perspective,
Reading Assessment: Linking Language, Literacy, and
Cognition is the first book of its kind to present a
research-based, integrated review of reading, cognition, and oral
language testing and assessment.
Author Melissa Lee Farrall explores the theoretical
underpinnings of reading, language, and literacy, explains the
background of debates surrounding these topics, and provides
detailed information and administration tips on the wide range of
reading inventories and standardized tests that may be used in a
reading psychoeducational assessment. With a focus on how to craft
professional evaluation reports that illuminate a student's
strengths--not just weaknesses--Reading Assessment
enables school psychologists and diagnosticians, reading
specialists, and special education professionals to conduct
evaluations and develop effective interdisciplinary remedial
recommendations and interventions.
Clear, engaging, and inviting, Reading Assessment
features:
* Case examples and practice exercises
* Chapter-opening reviews of each theory
* Strengths, weaknesses, and potential problems of tests and their
interpretations
* Chapter-ending review questions that foster skill development
and critical thinking
* Comprehensive information on more than 50 different assessment
tests
Reading Assessment is an invaluable resource that helps
professionals gain the knowledge and skills to confidently
interpret test results and prepare detailed and effective
evaluation reports designed to meet each child's unique needs as a
learner.
