Description

Building Descriptive Skills

Age Group : 4+

The methodology section at the beginning of the book "Building Descriptive Skills Step-by-Step – Age: 4+" provides you with the theoretical underpinning and the tools you need to help your students learn how to generate descriptive vocabulary and organise their ideas effectively. Children are offered the opportunity to practice building descriptions across 5 thematic areas and the step-by-step approach of the book is reinforced by a set of 5 description templates – one for each thematic area – that break down the information used in a description into categories thus developing your learners’ potential in becoming more autonomous.

Offering an array of useful strategies, tips and engaging practice activities, this book ensures your young learners get meaningful practice in descriptive language skills. 

Included are:

- guidelines on how you can reinforce your learners’ descriptive language skills
- criteria for selecting an appropriate thematic area
- steps needed to structure a thorough description
- 5 templates / guides for developing a description
- 158 picture task cards with comprehensive notes for therapists, teachers and parents
- 100 tips on games and activities that can be used with the picture cards

The materials in this book have been carefully selected to meet the needs of speech therapists, special education teachers, preschool teachers, primary school teachers and parents who are looking for a ready-to-use resource to help their children become more confident in using descriptive language and develop a positive attitude towards expressing themselves.

Writing is a solitary affair, and that's something I enjoy most of the time. Of course, I equally enjoy the company of my young and older students.

I started working as a speech therapist in 2000. Thirteen years later, I wrote the first book. I wanted to share the knowledge and personal experience I have gained over the years. I have not stopped writing since then, and at the same time, I continue to practice my profession. One complements the other. The children show me the way, and I join them in easy and challenging paths.

creare le abilità descrittive passo dopo passo

Il presente lavoro è risultato efficace e mi ha molto motivata nell'utilizzo sia perché guida il bambino all'osservazione analitica degli oggetti e quindi ad una conoscenza atenta degli stessi ma inoltre l'analisi sensoriale ossia il riconoscimento attraverso l'uso degli organi di senso risulta essere determinante soprattutto per i bambini di scuola dell'infanzia in quanto li aiuta a percepire sensazioni e a concettualizzare a partire dal proprio corpo e dagli input che questo trasmette nel ricevere stimoli esterni

Πολύ καλό!

Οι καρτέλες είναι πολύ καλές. Νομίζω ότι καλό θα ήταν να περιλαμβάνει και κάποιου είδους "εργασία" γιατί το παιδί το εκλαμβάνει σαν μάθημα και όχι σαν μία δημιουργική απασχόληση, που αυτό θέλω εγώ σαν γονιός. Οι εικόνες είναι πολύ καλές, και ο πρόλογος σε βοηθάει στο πως να εξελίσεις την κουβέντα.
