Helping little kids say big sentences. I study kids with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), trained as an SLP, using Implementation Science frameworks, reading deeply about Climate Change and Disaster Research. All posts my own.

Infographic titled "Teaching Cognitive Verbs Boosts Complement Clause Input" with 3 panels. First panel shows that cognitive verbs are more likely to occur in complex sentences than action verbs both in corpus data and in data collected from teachers focused on teaching vocabulary words. Second panel lists cognitive verbs. Third panel provides example activities to do to teach the verbs.

Two columns of text one wit a header that says implicit grammar treatments followed by the words enhanced input + attentive listening and teh other that says explicit grammar treatments followed by meta skills+rules + production practice. Then several treatment types are listed after each one with short definitions and references.
