Reviews

TheAcademic 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
