"Exceptional...delivers on the goal of connecting assessment with intervention."---Alan S. Kaufman, Ph.D., Clinical Professor of Psychology, Yale Child Study Center, School of Medicine
"A valuable resource for teachers and parents...enables educators to access exactly the information they need to improve the performance of students who struggle."---Norah S. Hooper, Ph.D., College of Graduate and Professional Studies, University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, Virginia
Enhanced with 27 new handouts and the Spanish translations users have requested, the second edition of this popular book offers a fresh, practical approach to teaching struggling students in elementary through high school. Applying their expert knowledge of how children learn, the authors developed more than 75 highly effective intervention handouts---ideal for teachers to use in the classroom and share with parents for use at home.
This second edition is set up like the first: A short questionnaire helps school psychologists pinpoint students' strengths and needs, and teachers use the handouts to address the areas that need work.
Each intervention handout is ready to use: It clearly describes the skill involved, indicates which children should use the intervention, and suggests easy-to-implement strategies. And because the handouts were developed around the four cognitive areas in Dr. Naglieri's well-respected PASS theory---Planning, Attention, Simultaneous processing, and Successive processing---users can be sure they're getting proven, reliable approaches to solving students' academic challenges.
The intervention guide that school psychologists and educators will use and share with parents year after year, Helping Children Learn is the lifeline struggling students need to overcome barriers to learning and achieve long-term school success.
