Does it seem like your students never make REAL, measurable progress in language therapy?
Do you want to finally start writing progress reports that look like this:
Let’s face it. A lot of us find ourselves writing “not making progress” on a lot of our language therapy goal updates.
Why? Because many of us didn’t start out with a good system for language therapy.
We end up guessing at what to do next, only to find our students aren’t improving on anything we’re teaching them.
But there’s good news. There’s a solution. It’s simple, really.
Instead of teaching out students a million different things, we should be doing the opposite.
We focus ONLY on the skills that will make the biggest impact on language comprehension and expression.
This means doing FEWER things with our students in language therapy, and doing them really well (instead of trying to teach them everything).
But picking the right skills can be tricky, and we need a guide for working on them.
I’ve created The Ultimate Guide to Syntax Bundle so you can have a roadmap for working on one of the biggest culprits behind language comprehension problems in school-age children.
That culprit: Syntax
Many of us don’t realize it, but many issues with higher-level comprehension are actually tied to poor comprehension at the sentence level (Scott, 2009).
That’s why SO many of our students are NOT responding to the “reading comprehension” strategies that we’re teaching them. If you can’t understand one sentence, you won’t be able to comprehend and entire paragraph!
But the problem is that most of us never learned a good system for treating syntactic issues.
That’s why I’ve created this bundle to walk you through it.
In this special bundle, you’ll get 3 separate manuals that will to guide you through targeting syntax in language therapy.
This guide is perfect for K-12 students with disabilities that impact language comprehension and literacy.
If you have students who are STILL struggling with language processing in secondary school, this is for you. If you have kids in the lower grades (even as low as K-1) who have poor grammar and sentence structure, and you can see it starting to impact literacy, this is also for you.
Many SLPs just gloss over syntax or assume that we can just wait until students are older. But this is a huge mistake.
According to a longitudinal study done by Nippold (2017) that tracked students with language disorders from K-12, syntax was one of the key factors that impacts reading comprehension. The study also showed that if this issue wasn’t targeted directly, it didn’t improve.
That means your students need your help!
Without it they may continue to struggle with reading comprehension through high school. That’s why I’ve made this easy to do with The Ultimate Guide to Syntax Bundle.
This 3-volume bundle includes:
- The Ultimate Guide to Syntax: Passive Voice
- The Ultimate Guide to Syntax: Sentence Combining
- The Ultimate Guide to Syntax: Sentence Deconstruction
Each Ultimate Guide will walk you through how to:
- Take baseline data when targeting syntax in language therapy.
- Write language therapy goals for targeting syntax.
- Target difficult sentence structures like passive voice, complex and compound sentences, and embedded clauses.
- Use evidence-based strategies that boost writing performance, language comprehension, and oral language.
Included in the 3-volume set:
- Language therapy goal banks.
- Assessment probes.
- Over 300 sentence probes (worksheets included).
- Step-by-step guides for targeting syntax in therapy.
