A language intervention eBook that is purpose built to engage your students.

A language intervention eBook that helps remove the guesswork from language therapy

Why I decided to create a language intervention eBook

This language intervention eBook is a result of my experience working as a school-based speech pathologist.

The eBook was specifically designed to enable you to improve your students' language skills within a context they can recognize and readily understand: a story.

How did I discover the strategies for best practice language intervention?

Over time I learnt, through trial and error, strategies and techniques that worked well to improve students' language skills.

I refined my skills so that I was able to engage students.

But there was still something missing.

It dawned on me that many students were having difficulty transferring the language skills they learnt in the clinic back into to the classroom.

So I went on a search and found Shared book reading, or text based language intervention.

I initially thought that shared book reading was too open-ended to be of much use. But after much reading and study I learnt that text-based intervention is actually an excellent method of teaching language and inferencing skills to students.

Over the years I've written my own stories, and created my own resources, which I use in schools daily. I've been using the resources and stories for several years now.

The illustrations add atmosphere to the story and have been designed to support the text.

"The Shared Strategic Reading ebook is a very thorough and user friendly language resource, that will save therapists and teachers a lot of time. It is well written and would appeal to both genders.

The activities are clearly set out and cover a good scope of language areas that will certainly strengthen students' skills in the classroom.

Guff the Neanderthal Boy is a great story. I think it would appeal to both boys and girls. My favourite picture is the one of the mammoth!! Love it!!"

Why is context so important when learning new language skills?

Perhaps the most important component of text based intervention is that it uses story as context. It is the context of the story that lays the foundation upon which language learning takes place.

The story, as written on the page, is a stable, reliable structure that is rich in language and can be returned to again and again.

The context of the story provides a familiar foundation for students. And it's the familiarity of the story that is so important when a child attempts to learn difficult language concepts.

With the importance of context in mind, I created my own story - 'Guff, the Neanderthal Boy' and embedded a large amount of content rich language in the text.

The story works well as a narrative, but its prime purpose is to allow you, as clinician or teacher, to help your students develop oral and written language skills..
