A groundbreaking integrated approach to reading assessment 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.
When making the shift to a systematic, explicit approach to teaching reading, it can be challenging to know how to arrange content in a way that supports the learning of every child in your class. The Reading Success in Action lesson sequence is designed to take the guess work out of making instructional decisions in teaching the basic code. Don’t spend hours agonizing over what, when and how to teach decoding. Follow the sequence and give your mental energy to supporting the students in your care.
– 86 pages of content
– Follows the Letters and Sounds sequence (s a t p i n m d g o c k ck e u r h b f l ff ll ss j v w x y z zz qu ch sh th ng)
– Easy to follow lesson plans contain instruction, teacher background knowledge, word lists and differentiated decodable sentences.

– Follows the sequence of ay, ee, igh, oa, oo (as in zoo), or, oy, ar, oo (look), er, ou, are, ow, oi, ir, a_e, i_e, o_e, u_e, ea, ai, ie, aw, ur, ear, le. The sequence has been chosen to reflect the most common grapheme representations as well as separating graphemes that represent the same phonemes. This conservative arrangement supports the cognitive load of students who are vulnerable to cognitive overload and confusion.
– Easy to follow lesson plans contain instructions, teacher background knowledge, word lists and differentiated decodable sentences. Three word lists and sentences enable you to reteach lessons as needed without repeating words.  Lesson also contain recommendations of irregular high frequency words mapped to the decodable texts included in the sequence.

– Each ‘set’ has a page aligning decodable texts from different series (include free resources) with that place in the sequence so that you can have absolute confidence that your students won’t be led into the ‘guessing zone’ while reading.
– Instructions for teaching the lessons include QR codes with links to videos explaining each step of the process – pronouncing the sounds, preparing to teach, teaching phoneme/grapheme correspondence, teaching decoding and encoding (reading and spelling), teaching irregular high frequency words, using decodable texts.
– And an informal assessment and class tracking sheet to monitor progress
