I recently compiled a list of my top resources for syntax and semantics, and I wanted to share it on the blog.
This list was designed with the following questions in mind:
“What does a therapy session look like when you’re doing semantic feature analysis or studying definition syntax?”
“How do you do syntax and semantic study with nonreaders or emergent readers?”
“How do you scaffold when teaching syntax/semantics?”
“Virtual Therapist” Videos
These videos show how I would model and explain semantic feature analysis and definition syntax and give a walkthrough of an example for nouns, verbs, and adjectives.

Semantic Feature Analysis for Adjectives
