School psychologists and reading achievement

School psychologists play a critical role in the lives of children who are struggling to learn. Increasingly, school psychologists are leaders in:

  • Developing and carrying out assessment and placement decisions that impact students from the beginning of their school careers
  • Helping schools reduce the number of students who lag behind grade level, and increase the number of successful readers
