Description

Reading Comprehension - PART 2

Age Group : 6 years and over

The book Development of Reading Comprehension in Autistic Children – Part 2 is a comprehensive therapeutic and educational resource designed for children who experience difficulties with meaningful comprehension of written language. It is especially intended for children who may be able to recognize and read words but struggle to process meaning, connect information, and answer comprehension questions accurately.

The material combines theoretical grounding with practical application, offering a clear intervention framework for parents, educators, and therapists. It presents key information on reading comprehension, the factors that affect it, its relationship with ASD, and strategies that can support the child before, during, and after reading.

The practical section is organized into six levels of graded difficulty. The child begins with the comprehension of individual words and matching them to pictures, then progresses to simple phrases and sentences, and eventually to the comprehension of short texts. At the more advanced levels, the child is asked to choose or write the correct answer to comprehension questions.

The activities use a clear structure, visual support, repetition, and a progressive increase in difficulty, so that the child can build comprehension, vocabulary, concentration, and autonomy skills step by step. The program strengthens the child’s ability to identify people, animals, places, actions, characteristics, emotions, and key information within phrases, sentences, and texts.

This is a flexible and practical intervention tool that can be used in individual sessions, in the classroom, or at home. Its gradual structure makes it particularly useful for strengthening reading comprehension in an organized, accessible way, adapted to the needs of children with ASD.

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.

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.

I am enjoying the series

Im enjoying the series having seen the second part now as well. I do have one feedback and that is the pictures really need to be improved. I can see the reason for having some part of the image unclear but it feels like too much work to figure out what the pictures are. I dont think its the resolution on my screen -I use a standard laptop and try to fit the page on the screen because obviously I dont want to be moving up and down a page while interacting with a distractable child. I hope that makes sense. Otherwise I love the series. And we use this many ways not just as shown in the book. For example Ive noticed for my child, while she can use describing words, she doesnt know which category the describing words are. That big, small describe the size of the noun being described for instance. So, this series Im using to help her practice sentences. "This is the big man". Big, small are words that describe the "size of the noun" and other things that she doesnt automatically seem to absorb. I love that this covers, places, jobs and other things as well. It gives me ideas on how to help her use longer sentences. Thank you

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.
