School-Age Language Intervention - 13862

Additional Book Details

School-Age Language Intervention: Evidence-based Practices explains how to teach the language and literacy skills, strategies, and underlying processes needed for educational success. This book brings together an array of experts to provide the latest practical and research-based guidance for graduate students, school speech-language pathologists, and other educators working with students in need across the grades. School-Age Language Intervention continues the themes of Ukrainetz's popular book, Contextualized Language Intervention, by integrating skills into functional motivating contexts, and by designing and evaluating interventions using the critical treatment elements of RISE (Repeated opportunities, Intensive schedule, Systematic support, and Explicit skill focus). This comprehensive text expands attention from language to reading and spelling, details the procedural fundamentals of school SLP practice, takes a critical look at reading disability and second language learning, and links intervention to the classroom through the Common Core State Standards.
