Introduction to Speech, Language, and Literacy is written for
Australian and New Zealand students studying education, speech
pathology and linguistics; fields with a strong focus on
communication. The book provides readers with a theoretical
understanding of speech, language and literacy acquisition, and the
ability to apply this understanding to individuals of different
ages and developmental stages, including those who are developing
typically and those with speech, language and literacy
difficulties. Within most chapters, Indigenous people and languages
of Australia and New Zealand are included as well as people from
other cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The book uses a lifespan
approach to consider communication skills from childhood, to
adolescence and adulthood. Typical acquisition is described
throughout the book and many chapters provide tables of typical
milestones or developmental sequences. Readers are provided with
descriptions of difficulties people may have acquiring speech,
language and literacy skills and strategies are provided for
educators, speech pathologists and linguists to support speech,
language and literacy. The inclusion of case studies is a key
feature of this book, used to demonstrate the development and use
of speech, language and literacy by different people in different
contexts. The book comes with access to 10 video case studies. The
videos are of Australian children, university students, and a
retired teacher. These people have been videoed talking, playing,
drawing, reading and writing. The people in the case studies are
introduced in chapter 1 and the chapter authors draw on these
videos to demonstrate features of speech, language, and literacy.
In addition, authors draw on their professional practice to
describe other cases that are illustrative of the chapter content
and its real-world application.
