""This book as a whole is an amazing tour de force. Every chapter is informative, detailed, and instructive....Essential reading for those in the field, for those who want to know about it, and for those who want to join in."" (on the first edition)-- ""PsycCRITIQUES"" (11/1/2006 12:00:00 AM) ""This handbook, now in its third edition, provides comprehensive knowledge of writing processes, instruction, and assessment for a range of age groups and ability levels. It is an essential resource for graduate students and writing researchers, and is highly appropriate for courses in special education and educational and school psychology. A good portion of the material is also relevant to the preparation of teachers of literacy, both in- and preservice. Many of the chapters promise to provide critically important foundations for future advances, such as understanding the role and use of artificial intelligence in writing and preparing the workforce to meet the ever-increasing demand for writing skills.""--Dolores Perin, PhD, Professor Emerita of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University ""Teacher educators, researchers, and writing teachers will benefit greatly from the practical and theoretical perspectives in the comprehensive third edition of this handbook. The volume explicates cognitive, sociocultural, and community-based models of writing, and--especially noteworthy--features a number of chapters that have made progress in integrating these models. The third edition showcases many important studies that collectively reveal what is currently known about writing development and instruction in young children through adults from diverse backgrounds, while also noting the need to look ahead at generative AI and its impacts on writing processes and research.""--Sarah Warshauer Freedman, PhD, Distinguished Professor of the Graduate School, School of Education, University of California, Berkeley
