Literacy teaching tends to take a structural approach to language,
focusing on auditory products or skills such as sounds, morphemes,
words, sentences, and vocabulary. However, new research suggests
that the majority of English speakers actually think and learn in
visual concepts, and that there is a cultural and linguistic
mismatch between auditory teaching methods and the way students
think and learn. This has important implications for all educators
including those who work with students with neurogenic
disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorders and ADHD. In her
new book, Dr. Ellyn Lucas Arwood outlines a revolutionary
four-tiered model of how a learner acquires language, and suggests
ways to impose visual language functions onto an auditory language
like English in order to improve learning for both neurotypical
learners and those with neurogenic disabilities. Dr. Arwood
provides tried-and-tested intervention strategies that work with
all levels of ability, giving readers the knowledge and confidence
to teach learners to become more literate in a way that raises
learners' abilities to think and problem solve. This book takes a
fresh look at how language and literacy interact, and will be of
interest to educators and special educators, speech and language
pathologists, and other professionals who support language learning
and development.
