New paper for #SLPeeps, which suggests that sentence repetition, nonword repetition, a parental questionnaire, and a task measuring semantic and morphosyntactic comprehension contribute the most to identifying DLD in bilingual children. #DevLangDis

Study addresses the challenge of identifying #DLD in bilingual children. This language assessment protocol successfully combines time efficiency w/ high accuracy to diagnose DLD; it's a useful, feasible protocol for SLPs. pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...

A digital drawing of a lush landscape with a little lake and three little ducks swimming in it. Around them are hills and grass. The colour palette uses a lot of green.

Want an early spring bloomer? American plum (Prunus americana) is a native tree that brightens the landscape with its white blooms. Compared to its invasive lookalike, Callery pear, it has a sweet scent and is a keystone species--a host for over 300 caterpillar species.

With falling NAEP scores & research showing that sentence writing is essential to reading growth, let's give students a change to perform at a higher level - even if they are struggling with decoding. Yes, writing success can motivate struggling readers!

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

Oh yeah? Name one thing that goes as hard as the cover of this [squints] educational magazine about electricity from 1915 ⚡️
The colorful cover of Electrical Experimenter, 1915, featuring depiction of a field of electrified equipment in shades of blue, purple, brown, green and orange. Reminiscent of Vienna Secessionist and Judendstil illustration and graphic design.

ICYMI, 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES #devlangdis #childspeechdis #SLCN Parents aren’t too lazy to talk to their children, explains a #teacher: “They care so much about their children, but their priority is meeting their basic needs. They are working incredibly hard just to keep them clothed and fed and safe.”

Two-thirds of children at risk of exclusion have speech and communication needs. My @london-vru.bsky.social is addressing this with oracy interventions in primary school.

In just one year, it has led to 98% of children narrowing the gap to their peers and 60% meeting vocabulary standards.

A new initiative aims to improve communication, as as pupils lacking speech and language skills more likely to be excluded and caught up in violence

The findings shake up previous ideas about language learning – and give us an earlier window to help children who might be at risk of speech or language delays.

I have a 30-minute skills block which includes daily spelling, vocabulary, morphology, and reading fluency work. I try to keep initial instruction of vocabulary and spelling quick and simple. Ss use mwb for answering. I teach 3 words at a time using consistent routines.

The snow today puts me in mind of one of the funnest and hardest studies my lab in Iowa did (during a winter when windchill kept closing schools!). This line of work on 'using a hook' to get people to use specific sentence types kicked off a line of work on embedding syntax in different contexts.
Infographic titled "Teaching Cognitive Verbs Boosts Complement Clause Input" with 3 panels. First panel shows that cognitive verbs are more likely to occur in complex sentences than action verbs both in corpus data and in data collected from teachers focused on teaching vocabulary words. Second panel lists cognitive verbs. Third panel provides example activities to do to teach the verbs.

A handy chart posted by ASHA on that other site. As a school-based SLP, these gains are not surprising to me, but might be useful in illustrating to other stakeholders the impact an SLP can have on classroom performance.
