From Talking to Writing: Strategies for Scaffolding Expository Expression

Do your students struggle to express what they want to say? Do you search for help, only to find programs that don't really address your students' needs? From Talking to Writing gives you tools to help children find topics, retrieve words, formulate sentences, or sequence their ideas. Help your students "get the words out" and "get them down on paper". Here's a brief look at what you'll find: * Research-based approaches that are tailored to children with oral and written language difficulties * Techniques for "priming the word pump" to aid students' word finding * Frameworks for sentence, paragraph, and essay instruction to use in your language arts or content classes * Teacher-friendly examples and templates to use with your students The teaching methodology in this book has been refined through over 30 years of teaching students with language-based learning disabilities.
