Review :
"The Academic Skills Problems Fourth Edition Workbook once again provides an excellent companion to Shapiro's text. Adding to the wealth of practical forms, tables, charts, and information, the new section providing explicit linkages to response to intervention ensures the utility of the book across a variety of settings and purposes. This Workbook is an invaluable resource for any educator and is equally useful for both preservice and inservice applications. This is the kind of resource that will be highlighted, tabbed, and referred to so often that it won't make it back to the bookshelf!" - John L. Hosp, Department of Teaching and Learning, University of Iowa , USA "This workbook provides valuable tools for implementing the most practical yet comprehensive and research-based assessment-to-intervention model in education today. Many authors discuss aspects of a comprehensive model, but Shapiro puts all of the pieces together. The examples, sample materials, and forms will be particularly useful for practitioners interested in response to intervention. I will continue to use this outstanding resource in my research, clinical practice, and teaching." - Matthew Burns, School Psychology Program, University of Minnesota, USA
