For school psychologists, Shapiro (school psychology, Lehigh U.) presents a four-step approach to evaluating and remediating academic skills problems in K-12 students who are struggling with reading, spelling, written language, or math. He stresses evaluating skills in the context of the school curriculum and provides guidelines for assessing students' learning and their instructional environment, as well as integrating and using the data to design instructional modifications and monitor progress. This edition has new and revised sample forms and a new chapter and case example on direct assessment and intervention within response-to-intervention (RTI) methods of universal screening and progress monitoring. It has a companion workbook. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
