What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Th[is is] literally the best book ever written in our field.”
—Dr. Maria Murray, Associate Professor of Literacy, State University of NY at Oswego
“David Kilpatrick’s book, one of Wiley’s Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, is much more than a synthesis of test reviews, summaries of intervention research, illustrative case studies, and recommendations for reading and literacy interventions. While such content is pro forma in a guide for school psychologists, reading specialists, and educators, this book offers provocative new insights into the nature of reading development, reading difficulties, and effective instruction that deserve wide discussion and application in the field…[This book] represents one of the most potent linkages between science and educational practice available to us now. “
—Dr. Louisa Moats, EdD, review from International Dyslexia Association’s Perspectives on Language and Literacy, Summer 2016, p. 51-52
”[Kilpatrick’s] book is highly recommended for all school psychologist practitioners. It provides a comprehensive foundation in the research on the development of reading skills as well as an in-depth analysis of how to approach assessment and intervention. Understanding what the research says about how and what to instruct is crucial for school psychologists who are working in a multitiered system of support in order to be able to support teachers in choosing effective instruction at the classroom level and beyond.
—Lynne O. Thies, PhD, NCSP, review from Communiqué Newsletter of the National Association of School Psychologists, Vol, 45, Issue 2, 2016
