Description
Children with SLI are a challenging yet stimulating group to work with. To be successful in teaching them you need enthusiasm, patience, flexibility and a large bank of ideas. This book offers information, guidance and examples of good practice to teachers, learning assistants and parents. Included is a motor skills programme, rhymes for speech production and memory work, and a photocopiable word bank. This second edition is fully updated throughout and includes new terminology, as well as links to further resources on Assessment and Individual Education Plans (IEP). There is a new chapter which has a bank of IEP targets, resources that have proven invaluable to teachers and teaching assistants, where in other books only a blank IEP form is often provided.

Reviews
'Caring for and working to support children struggling to cope with the confusing difficulties associated with speech and language impairment is unquestionably a huge challenge. The difficulties are diverse and wide-ranging and have significant implications on the child's ability to learn in general, but on the acquisition of an effective literacy level in particular. This book is alive with tried and tested ideas and strategies that are equally valuable for school or at home. The warmth and passion Jill feels for her work with these children and their families shines through on every page. The holistic approach she takes to the work and the ever-present voice of the family underpinning everything Jill does puts this book in a class of its own.' Gill Britten, Family Learning Co-ordinatorv
From Nasen Publications " The format and no- nonsense language of the book make it easy to read and use" "This book would be a valuable addition to any staffroom bookcase" -- June Boschen
