Topics in Language Disorders, v12 n1 p66-81 Nov 1991

This article presents strategies, including communicative reading strategies, to facilitate holistic language learning in young children with language and learning disorders. Strategies include pairing oral and written language and using preparatory sets, semantic maps, flowcharts, and theme building. An example of narrative discourse demonstrates how adults can mediate such learning. (DB)
