Creating Thematic Units to Target Grammar

Creating Thematic Units to Target Grammar

Improving the grammar of children with language disorders can present many challenges. Clinicians know that repetition is important, but often “drill” activities lack context and do not actively engage students. In this lecture, the evidence bases for intervention techniques supporting the development of spoken grammar within contextualized mini units will be reviewed along with practical tips for developing your own grammar units for a variety of spoken grammar targets.
