This course will examine the developmental and clinical relationship among language, literacy, and academic achievement. Specific developmental stages will be considered in order to understand how children make the transition from speaking and listening to reading and writing in order to attain academic success. Formal standardized tests and informal discourse analysis procedures will be explored so as to design the most effective assessment approaches for the school-aged child. Treatment
strategies will be considered to address deficits in decoding and word recognition, listening and reading comprehension, as well as
oral and written expression.
By the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify specific interactions between language and academic performance, including reading, spelling, writing, math and text comprehension.
- Describe the characteristics of later language learning involved in the transition to literacy, including the development of metalinguistic awareness, and the comprehension and formulation of narrative and expository discourse structures.
- Compare the relative usefulness of traditional as well as discourse and curriculum based approaches to assessment and treatment of language deficits in relation to academic achievement.
- Identify appropriate standardized tests as well as discourse and curriculum based formats for assessing language deficits in relationship to academic performance.
- Identify appropriate approaches to facilitate the development of decoding, word recognition, listening and reading comprehension, and oral written expression.
