Developing Reading Comprehension in Autistic Children - PART 1 (Revised Edition)

Practical exercises and strategies to enhance reading comprehension in autistic children

Alice Kassotaki - Speech Language Pathologist MSc, BSc

Many autistic children can read words fluently—but do not understand what they read. “Developing Reading Comprehension – Part 1” is a comprehensive, evidence-based program that gradually builds the ability to extract meaning from text. Organized into four levels of increasing difficulty based on the questions “Who? Where? What? How?”, the material offers a clear structure and immediate applicability in therapeutic or educational settings. It concludes with the interactive card game “The Little Monsters” to support skill consolidation and generalization.

Description

Reading Comprehension - PART 1

Age Group : 6 years and over

The book “Developing Reading Comprehension in Autistic Children” is an evidence-based program designed to support children who experience difficulties in text comprehension. It targets cases where decoding skills may be adequate, but meaningful understanding remains challenging.

Through a carefully structured approach, the material translates theory into practice and provides a clear intervention framework for developing reading comprehension. It presents the key factors that influence comprehension, appropriate support strategies, and the specific needs of children with ASD, offering a comprehensive and practical approach.

The program is organized into four graduated levels based on the fundamental comprehension questions: “Who? Where? What? How?” In this way, the child is gradually trained to identify people, locations, categories, actions, emotions, and characteristics within a text. The use of visual supports, repetition, and clear structure enhances attention, information processing, and skill generalization.

The book is completed with the interactive card game “The Little Monsters,” which offers an engaging way to consolidate and further practice skills. It is a user-friendly, flexible, and effective intervention tool designed for use in therapeutic, educational, or home settings.

Bibliography

Author

Alice Kassotaki - Speech Language Pathologist MSc, BSc

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.

Bonjour Foteini ! Je voudrai noter : La vitesse de traitement de l'information

Je n’ai pas encore eu la possibilité d’utiliser cette brochure, mais, je le ferai bientôt. Celle que j’utilise beaucoup, avec des malades d’Alzheimer, traumatisées crâniens, ou enfants avec certain déficit cognitif est celle de la Vitesse de traitement de l’information. Je constate que la rapidité de traitement reliée au développement des stratégies métacognitives, augmente, de même que l'apprentissage, le rendement académique, le raisonnement et que cette l'expérience les enrichisse leur donne beaucoup de satisfactions. Merci beaucoup !

Molto utili

Buongiorno, sono la mamma di un bambino autistico e, purtroppo, sono abbandonata a me stessa dalla scuola (sia come indicazioni su cosa fare e come fare) e ho riscontrato che, con la stimolazione e il lavoro costante (rispettando sempre i tempi del mio bambino), sono riuscita ad ottenere tanto e i Vostri testi colorati e chiari mi stanno aiutando tantissimo.
Grazie e continuate così.

Super Consigliato

Sono insegnante di sostegno nella scuola primaria, ho conosciuto upbility per caso ,ho acquistato come primo testo Sviluppare la comprensione della lettura nello spettro autistico, successivamente ho acquistato tutta la serie perchè testi validissimi!
La maggior parte dei testi in commercio hanno delle inferenze grafiche che distraggono dal testo, dalla lettura e generano confusione visiva , nei testi acquistati su questo sito ciò non avviene.

Outil juste parfait !

J'ai pris cet outil pour mon garçon TSA pour l'aider à la compréhension de la lecture. Il sait lire mais parfois peine dans la compréhension. Cet outil est juste parfait car il segmente très bien la question , le contexte et favorise la compréhension. Mon garçon accroche très bien car il est demandeur.
Le graphique est très bien fait, les couleurs gaies et la police bien adaptée.
J'ai pris les 3 parties.
Je recommande vivement cet outil très pédagogique et ludique.
