Grammar and Syntax: Developing School-Age Children’s Oral and Written Language Skills (PDF)

By Monica Gordon-Pershey
Grammar and Syntax: Developing School-Age Children’s Oral and Written Language Skills provides insight for clinical speech-language pathologists (SLPs) as well as students and faculty in communication sciences and disorders programs. Offering a practicing speech-language pathologist’s perspective on school-age language development, this professional reference book focuses on later language development and the crucial role oral grammar and syntax plays in successful academic performance.
This resource synthesizes the four main components of professional expertise for SLPs: academic and theoretical knowledge, strategies for gathering diagnostic evidence, the ability to seek, understand, and apply evolving scientific evidence, and the application of therapeutic strategies. Designed to encourage creative approaches to curriculum-based speech-language therapy practices, Grammar and Syntax: Developing School-Age Children’s Oral and Written Language Skills provides the foundation SLPs need to help children and adolescents achieve academic success.
