Teach students the cognitive process of categorization. This book goes beyond simply teaching about categories, and reaches into the strategies used when
discussing and thinking about attributes, relationships between category members and how to apply the strategies to new learning situations. Included in the program is an interactive, observational assessment approach which provides the SLP with valuable information about the type of remediation needed by the student. Mediation questions are provided at the end of each section to assess carry-over of the learned material. Efficient word learners do not just memorize word lists, but create learning rules to apply to a variety of cognitive process. Students that fall behind typically are learning one word at a time and have not processed adequate rules for learning. This book addresses that process. Four sections are organized from basic to more complex tasks: Attributes and Categories, Single Attributes, Multiple Attributes and Categories, Subcategories and Hierarchies. Each activity includes a student worksheet and an instructor guide which includes the answers, modifications, and supplemental questions. Additionally, an instructor guide with suggestions and examples is provided. A great addition to your library for students struggling with categorization and attribute identification. 238 pages.Ages: 5 and up.
