Reading Assessment: Linking Language, Literacy, and Cognition

Farrall, Melissa Lee, 2012.

Oh my! I have a very long list of books to get posted on here, but I'm afraid this is the only one that will be getting done today.

This was the textbook for the most recent class I took at Boise State. When I got it in the mail I found myself thinking one thing. BORING. However, I was wrong, most of the time.

This book is chalk-full of valuable information for anyone researching reading, reading instruction, and/or reading assessments. Be you a teacher, professor, para, or even a parent, I was impressed with the stylistic writing and the bounty of information presented in this text and I have a feeling you'd think the same.

Covering everything from reading theories and models to pin-pointing struggles a child might have in reading such as fluency or comprehension, this book is a wealth of information. It is easy to navigate and even has some great discussion questions at the end of each chapter. 

I certainly won't be selling this book back to anyone. It has a spot on my shelf, from which it is guaranteed to get pulled from time to time.
