Because language is so essential to learning, teachers have a unique role in identifying and supporting students with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).
Around 2 children in every class of 30 have DLD.
So every teacher needs to know about DLD!

Language is crucial for learning.
DLD impacts on language.
So DLD makes learning harder.
Simple strategies like specific teaching of vocabulary, pausing between sentences & increasing visuals all help students with DLD. These are all low cost!

DLD is a lifelong condition and it does make lots of things more challenging. BUT once a person's needs are identified and they are supported they can thrive.
This is why we need far more awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)! www.naplic.org.uk/developmenta...

Strategies for reading in secondary.
Reading for enjoyment.
Need to keep motivation for decoding, think of games as well as morphology.
And for those with language needs, focus on language such as narrative and vocabulary.

Reading is based on language.
Language predicts letter knowledge and phonological awareness which in turn predict decoding skills. Language is the foundation of phonics.
Language also impacts directly on reading comprehension.

DLD is not something that people grow out of, and in adulthood it can continue to have significant impacts. Especially when unsupported.
