Building a Language-Focused Curriculum for the Preschool Classroom, Volume I

Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"The language-focused curriculum (LFC), designed for adaptation in preschool settings, is an innovative, culturally sensitive approach to strengthening the speech and language skills of children who have language impairments, those who are learning English as a second language, and those who are typically developing. Through case examples and practical discussions, this progressive book explains how to weave instruction into the flow of daily classroom life and describes classroom intervention strategies in the context of the LFC curriculum. Implemented and proved effective in the Language Acquisition Preschool (LAP) and other diversified settings, the LFC also emphasizes family collaboration and individualized educational planning. Theories of language acquisition are discussed and applied to components of this program." -Brookes Publishing Company
