This episode is an interview with Dr. Teresa Ukrainetz, who specializes in school-age language intervention.
Her current research centers on how to help students with language impairments gain control of the words and ideas of informational text, and her brilliantly simply method for this intervention is called Sketch and Speak.
Here is a snippet from the interview:
“I really wanted to look at expository. I felt like we were largely at sea trying to figure out how to support learning of informational text and expository discourse, and it's extra hard compared to narrative in that it's based on new learning. . . Kids are not only learning how to tell a story or how to understand a story with expository, they're learning chemistry and biology and history, and so they've got a lot of new content they're handling.”
Research has shown just how valuable Sketch and Speak is for improving spoken language, something SLPs realize as soon as they start using it.
