Designed for professionals who work with elementary and middle school students

in language development, this book focuses on oral expression. Speech-language pathologists, special education instructors and classroom teachers will find

"Thinking About Language" useful as a diagnostic tool, as a guide for teaching receptive and expressive language skills, as a desk reference, and as a resource

for word lists and practical templates for student use. The materials in this

Teaching Resource have been refined through over thirty years of teaching

students with language-based learning disabilities.

        "Thinking About Language reflects the distillation of decades of thought,  

          clinical expertise, and teaching about language by one of New England's

          finest teachers.  I will recommend it to everyone who works with children,  

          particularly those children who have challenges in oral and written language.             The book is a tribute  to the complexity of language and those who teach it.   

          Bravo!"

            more about how to manage language instruction and how to integrate  

            instruction in language with content."
