“An essential reference for teachers, coaches, and teacher educators. The authors provide a comprehensive guide to assessment, including important contextual information as well as practical tasks and questions for assessment. The fifth edition features critical updates pertaining to the science of reading. The new chapter on morphology is a particularly valuable addition. Overall, the coherent, measured approach and balanced attention to younger and older readers makes this a go-to text for all of us who want to thoughtfully administer and interpret literacy assessments.”
