Description
Reading Assessment: Linking Language, Literacy, and Cognition by Melissa Lee Farrall provides a comprehensive approach to reading assessment, integrating language, literacy, and cognition. This research-based book offers a strengths-based perspective, exploring the theoretical underpinnings of reading and providing detailed information on reading inventories and standardized tests. Written for school psychologists, diagnosticians, reading specialists, and special education professionals, this book enables the creation of professional evaluation reports that highlight a student's strengths, rather than just their weaknesses. By presenting a wide range of assessment tools and administration tips, Reading Assessment provides valuable support in identifying students at risk, evaluating school-wide reading programs, and developing effective interventions. With its focus on progress monitoring and diagnostic tools, this book is essential for educational evaluators seeking to improve reading skills and develop targeted remedial recommendations.
