This video explores the process of acquiring language abilities—the key to successful communication—as well as practical strategies that parents and teachers can use to help students develop these abilities. It shows children and early adolescents in classroom settings struggling with one or more language levels: phonological processing, morphological sense, semantic understanding and use, sentence comprehension and formulation and discourse. Viewers will gain insights into the complexities of language and the critical role language plays in children’s success in school and in life. Dr. Mel Levine, teachers and students themselves share observations on children’s language difficulties and strategies to successfully address them. Includes a guidebook.
