Customer Reviews: 1 2 Next » A Masterful Resource June 1, 2010 James M. Creed Mather, Wendling, and Roberts have done a masterful job of creating this comprehensive resource for the assessment and remediation of the difficulties of the struggling writer. The authors use clear, accurate, and precise language to present overviews of the separate components of written language followed by techniques for informally assessing the difficulties the struggling writer reveals in his/her writing. They then follow this clear understanding of the problem with instructional plans that address the specific weaknesses. All of this is illustrated with real examples from real students. This is a must-have desk reference for all professionals and parents who work with developing writers. If I were Oprah, I would have the authors on the show and place this book under each seat. Must have for teachers of writing!! March 8, 2010 Deborah Rhein (Las Cruces, NM) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is an invaluable resource to anyone who is working with struggling writers. Not only does it address critical assessment questions in a clear and logical manner, but it also provides practical suggestions for intervention. Because the authors don't presume the reader has much background, this book is appropriate and useful to beginning teachers. However, because of the wealth of activites, the book is equally useful to experieinced instructors. It is a must-have for anyone who wants to assist struggling writers. Acclaim for Writing Assessment February 7, 2010 Marshall A. Glenn (Norman, OK) In their book, Writing Assessment and Instruction for Students with Learning Disabilities, the authors have provided a thorough approach to assessment and remediation for those students who find writing a formidable challenge. Not only does this text address the reason for referral question for psychologists, neuropsychologists, teachers and diagnosticians, it also takes on the important next step, answering the "so what?" or the "so what are we going to do about it?" question for remediation. It should have wide appeal to parents who home-school their children, parents who assist in their child's homework, regular education teachers in writing lesson plans and special education teachers who write goals and objectives in written expression. As a school psychologist with 35 years of experience, I find this text is a much needed resource that I will use and recommend for assessments and remedial strategies in my practice. As special educators, may we be forever mindful of the promise for struggling writers by the quote of Richard Bach: "A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit." With every good wish, Marshall Andrew Glenn, Ph.D., NCSP, American Board School-Neuropsychology, Oklahoma City University Excellent Resource for School Psychs and Special Educators Alike January 16, 2010 S. Gaines (Tucson, AZ) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Writing Assessment and Instruction for Students with Learning Disabilities is a comprehensive and practical look at improving written language for all students. The instructional ideas cover every aspect of written language that a student may have difficulty with including handwriting, spelling, usage, vocabulary, and text structure. As a school psychologist, I find this text to be extremely useful in writing recommendations that are both realistic for classroom use and tailored to an individual student's needs. In addition, I found the chapters on assessment of writing to be especially helpful in taking my assessment of a student's skills beyond a Standard Score to a deeper level of analysis that pinpoints the areas in which a student struggles or excels the most. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who works with struggling writers! Invaluable for every teacher's toolbox of resources January 5, 2010 Annmarie Urso (State University of New York at Geneseo) Mather, Wendling and Roberts have written an invaluable writing assessment and instruction resource manual for teachers. As a 20 year special education teacher, I often struggled with how to effectively and efficiently assess written language skills in my students to yield valuable information to inform instruction. As a university professor teaching assessment and intervention coursework to pre-service teachers, I prepare teachers who face the same dilemma in a context of increasing awareness of research-based interventions. Mather and her colleagues have developed a manual that guides K-12 teachers from the foundations of written language and handwriting, to assessment, accommodations, and research based interventions for students struggling with written language. Timely, informative, and accessible for undergraduate students and teachers alike - this book will be one of the required texts in my literacy assessment and intervention courses and is a must for every literacy teacher's toolbox of instructional resources.
