Reviews / Votes
The third edition of this seminal book is a 'must-have' for any school-based professional involved in the assessment of academic skills in elementary-age students. Shapiro has once again provided the field with a user-friendly approach to curriculum-based assessment (CBA) that addresses the increasing need for scientifically based practice, accountability, and the monitoring of student progress. - John M. Hintze, School Psychology Program, University of Massachusetts at AmherstThis outstanding third edition reflects the most recent advances in knowledge about direct academic assessment and intervention. The book will have broad applicability to university programs in education, school psychology, and special education, as well as providing an invaluable resource for school-based professionals. This is an excellent contribution to the literature and will serve as the critical source for addressing children's academic skills problems. - Tanya L. Eckert, Department of Psychology, Syracuse University
