Psychological Testing: Principles, Applications, and Issues 6th edition CD .......2006-09-18
This is an excellent CD containing the test bank of test items that accompany Kaplan and Saccuzzo's Psychological Testing: Principles, Applications, and Issues 6th edition for instructors.
I have used this CD to create tests for my course. The CD contains all of the test items from the test bank, walks you through sampling items to use on exams, and creates exams for you all in just a few steps. Its claims to help you create tests in 5 minutes and I can endorse that.
It is a must for course instructors.

old book!.......2007-04-13
This book had been through the ringer! It was faded and worn on all edges. The packaging did little to prtect it, as well.
slow delivery.......2007-03-10
This book arrived new in excellent condition, but it took forever to arrive at my house. I started to wonder if I had done something wrong in the ordering process or if it was lost!
Good resource tool........2006-03-15
This item was very helpful, full of pertinent information and will remain in my professional book collection for continuing reference.

Helpful Resource.......2006-07-19
The book is a helpful resource, especially if you've used the QRI4, which was written by the authors of this text. Includes some useful charts, diagrams, and a booklist.
A must have for reading specialists!.......2005-09-11
This book is a great resource for specific strategies matched to your IRI results. It suggests practical strategies and intervention models to meet the needs of your struggling readers. Each chapter contains specific strategies for each component of an IRI. This is a great asset to include in your professional library for reading specialists and other professionals who administer IRIs and plan instruction based on those results.

GREAT BOOK.......2007-03-13
Great material, helpful information. It is a somewhat heavy read, but that is to be expected with the material it is covering. My only complaint would be that the paper the pages are printed on is thin and prone to getting bent etc.
Book Description
The totally restructured SAT college entrance exam that became effective in 2005 includes an entirely new and very important Writing Test, which consists of two main parts. First is a 25-minute period during which students must write an essay on a given topic. Later, students must answer multiple-choice questions that test their skill in correcting poorly-written sentences, finding mistakes in grammar and usage, and correcting mistakes in the first-draft version of a student essay. This manual familiarizes students with all aspects of the SAT Writing Test and presents review chapters and questions with answers that are designed to hone test-takers' skills. Also included is a helpful overview of the Writing Test and details on how student essays are scored. This manual presents five writing tests. The first introduces students to the test's format and the following four are similar to the actual SAT writing test in length and question types. All tests have answers and explanations, and come with instructions on how students can convert their practice test score to the familiar SAT scale of 200-800.

GREAT SERVICE.......2007-09-13
I placed this order for my nephew is overseas and it reached the base in a timely fashion.
Probably the best of the SAT workbooks.......2007-09-10
We provide this to our tutors (In-Home Tutors of Atlanta, In-Home Tutors of Orlando) to help prepare students for the SAT. This is at their recommendation, although some prefer the official CollegeBoard blue book. Lots of practice material and rational strategies and hints. It's a good price through Amazon too.
Excellent Resource.......2007-01-18
This book is wonderful! I had been using it at the SAT prep center where I work and finally broke down and bought my own copy. I use everything in it...the grammar review exercises, the sample essays with scoring, the practice tests. The questions are challenging and follow the SAT format closely. My students have never had complaints about the work from this book. The answer explanations are also easy to comprehend. Excellent!
Book Description
Focusing on ability/disability and reading/writing from an interactive perspective, this book emphasizes the importance of determining and establishing the appropriate learning environment for the individual learner. Extensive, in-depth treatment of current research and best practices make this book a 'must-have' addition to any current or future teacher's library. Section I provides the readers with a strong, comprehensive knowledge of reading/writing research and assessment practices from which readers can move forward to the second and third sections of the book, which contain detailed discussions and examples of assessment practices.

Reading and Writing Assesment Review.......2007-02-13
I think the text is well written without being redundant. I'm using it for grad class...its a good textbook. :)
Book Description
The purpose of this book is to prepare teachers to meet the reading and writing needs of students whose progress is not moving as rapidly as their peers'. Class-tested for two years in courses at the University of Georgia, Monmouth University, and the University of Notre Dame, Literacy Difficulties has proven itself an invaluable book for teachers and educators in general. Every chapter contains new types of lesson plans and assessment tools for classroom and clinical settings containing pupils with a wide range of reading ability levels. Teachers, curriculum developers, special education teachers, parents!

Literacy Difficulties.......2005-10-24
This is a great text. It is well organized and I don't think they miss anything. I took a course that used it, and I am glad I bought the book. I will refer to it often when I am trying to figure out a plan with a student who has reading difficulties.
The only critique is that the print is too small for my eyes.
For both the educator and the parent.......2004-12-06
If one is preparing to enter the teaching profession and plans to teach reading, this is the book for you. If one is a parent of a struggling reader, this, too, is the book for you. The authors have put together a rather concise and rather uncomplicated read that is beneficial to the reading specialist, the classroom teacher, and the parent that wants to know about techniques, strategies, and programs available to assist in the teaching of reading.
Filled with a wealth of case studies, entertaining activities, and other aids, the book is equally a reference book as well as a textbook. There is historical documentation that shows how the teaching of reading has evolved over the years.
Although it is rather pricey, as is the case of most textbooks, it is a price of which most educators/parents should be willing to pay.
The "loss" of one star is due to some of the author's assessments of the differences between ethnic groups in regards to reading/learning styles. It is unfair to lump all of a certain minority/racial/culture group in the same based on surveys or studies of a select few.

Find Instructional Reading Levels Efficiently and Effectively.......2007-01-04
This inventory has many improvements from prior Johns editions. As always, the Johns is easy to administer. This version provides accurate instructional reading levels in a timely fashion with improved student texts and comprehension questions. The CD is easy to use and simplifies copying. As a teacher, this purchase is worthy of my time and money.
Fantastic book!!!.......2006-07-22
This book really helped mer to understand doiing a reading assessment and i felt extremely comfortable doing the assessment.
Basic Reading Inventory.......2006-02-25
Immediate results from the assessments. Not as easy to use as Marie Clay's running Records, but all inclusive. The CD-ROM is great for reproducables, but many pages have to be pulled out of the book and put in page protectectors. Still a great method to diagnose and assess children's reading. One of those college books you will keep.
Excellent Reading Assement.......2005-09-30
This is an excellent book for professionals who can take the time to learn to give this kind of informal reading assessment. The format is very organized, clear, and easy to read. The author has numerous years of experience as a teacher/educator and it is apparent in the assesment he has designed. The information the assessment generates is very useful.
Book Description
Don't judge this book by its cover alone, listen to the CD! From Defined Mind, Vocab Rock brings real music, from hip-hop to alternative, to SAT and ACT test prep. Students can groove to tunes from independent recording artists and then use the lyrics, definitions, and exercises included in the book to really learn, and remember the new vocabulary found in the songs. Who says you have to turn down the music to study for the SAT!
Customer Reviews:
scary.......2007-10-17
I borrowed this from the library. Just listening to it gave me goosebumps (and not the good kinds that the music instructors say they get when listening to good music). I was dying even before the first song ended. The only decent song in here was "Already Taken." I don't recommend anyone to get this. I finally found the worst music in the world. The exercises are pretty useful, just DON'T LISTEN TO THE CD! It's for your own good.
A song in your studies.......2007-09-10
Music as always is a very personal experience. Some songs in Vocab Rock! were better than others. The song "Already Taken" could stand alone as a hit. If you like Hip-Hop, you may like the songs in Flocabulary better. But the real point of these works is repetition of advance vocabulary in context. Both works have a plethora of words. Get them both and get a break from flash cards.
Actual use.......2007-05-07
Kids thought the music was unpalatable, but enjoyed the worksheets (ultimately opted for Flocabulary).
vocab rock! Musical preparation for the Sat and ACt.......2007-04-04
Returned.
Difficult to understand the songs and poor tunes.
Vocab Rock is Excellent!.......2006-06-05
I gave this book to my 14 year old and she loves it! After listening to the cd for 3 days I couldn't believe how much she learned from it. She brought it to school to share with her friends and they are wondering where to buy the CD....Great Product!!
