Description
This cutting edge resource explores the latest research in the area of language-learning-reading deficits and provides therapists with
practical information that they can use in the classroom to treat students with speaking, listening, reading, and writing problems. It
provides a very research-based look at reading and language disorders, beginning with the neurological and genetic basis for these disorders,
covering the developmental process, and looking at assessment issues such as the narrative genre as a diagnostic tool, miscue analysis,
scaffolding during oral reading, and design of thematic units for measuring outcomes. The appendices include extremely useful forms for
diagnostic purposes in clinical settings, as well as planning and implementing intervention and documenting progress over time. A bound-in
CD packaged with the book contains ready-to-use forms that are referred to in the practice chapters - including: a Miscue Tally Sheet;
sample factual, interpretation, and interference questions; a Narrative Recording Form; a Story Map; and a Skills/Concepts to Target
Sheet (i.e., a lesson plan). Written by a speech-language pathologist, this book is designed to help SLPs understand their evolving role
in literacy development to better help the students they treat to achieve academic success.
