The Effects of Language Difficulties on Reading Comprehension and Writing
presented by Stacey Buck, CCC-SPL/L
Tuesday, February 7, 2017
7:00 PM
McCracken Middle School
8000 East Prairie Road
Skokie, IL 60076
How does sentence structure impact reading comprehension? In what way does Theory of Mind impact reading comprehension in addition to social interaction? Delving into the five areas of language (syntax, morphology, semantics, phonology, and pragmatics), participants will gain a new perspective on the impact of difficulty with any of the language areas on reading comprehension and writing. The presentation will include definitions, examples, and developmental milestones for each area and relevant research will be incorporated. With a focus on school-age children (5 - 18 years), participants will apply this foundational information in order to analyze children in videos and case examples.
