Top Book - too focussed on kids
24 May 2007
Format:Paperback
I really like this book, and the others in this series that I have used.
It's drawback though is that it is VERY aligned to writing reports for children and could have included more examples of adult reporting.

Essentials of Assessment Report Writing
21 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book provides what it promises plus gives value for money. Like other titles in the series, it suits the approach of reading the entire text and then marking specific pages for later reference.
I purchased it from Amazon.com after searching the tables of contents and several other pages. When it arrived I was pleased to find that all sections of the book contained sound professional advice, good writing, and in-depth coverage.
The authors show an appreciation of differences in reporting styles that are linked to the type and purpose of an assessment. The book clarifies the over-riding need to present information clearly and concisely within sections that enable readers to access information and understand the assessor's interpretation of a client's scores, responses and behaviours.

Great book for you School Psych students
27 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Report writing after administering a test is tricky. The wording can be tricky. This books helps explain what parents want to hear and how to write it. Every test is different, therefore every report is different. This book explains how to write it properly, without skipping anything significant. Great book.
