Evidence-Based Practice
According to the Clinical Guidelines of the Royal College of Speech & Language
Therapists (www.rcslt.org/resources, 2005); the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association (www.asha.org); and research by van Daalen-Kapteijns, Elshout-Mohr, and
de Glopper (2001), the following therapy principles are supported:
Children develop language comprehension and use in a hierarchy of semantic
meaning (e.g., vocabulary of nouns and verbs precedes acquisition of conceptual
vocabulary).
Children with language disorders frequently have problems in sentence processing
or in abstracting information meaningfully for storage and retrieval and require
specific instruction to improve their language processing skills.
Students need to understand semantic relationships among words.
Direct and indirect instruction of vocabulary words helps students improve reading
comprehension and performance for semantic tasks.
Strategies should be employed to develop a child’s skills at interpreting figurative
language as this forms a substantial part of comprehension.
Organizing vocabulary via word associations facilitates word storage and retrieval.
The exercises in this book incorporate the above principles and are also based on expert
professional practice.
