A Cooperative Parent-Teacher Model Using the Project LIFE Instructional System.
Spidal, David A.
Reported was an experiment in which the parents of an 8-year-old learning disabled girl used materials from the Language Improvement to Facilitate Education (LIFE) Project in the home under the supervision of a classroom teacher. The S was presented with an average of two filmstrips each day over a 12-week summer period. Data indicated that the S steadily progressed through the instructional system in the order of visual perception, thinking activities, and language development. Thinking activity filmstrips were found to be especially helpful in indicating specific weaknesses in memory skill which were remedied by having the S repeat aloud the information indicated on given memory frames. It was reported that the S increased her vocabulary by a known quantity of 158 words, acquired new confidence, and learned to assemble new words into sentences. S' response to the Project LIFE program was said to be very positive and enthusiastic. The S' parents recommended that Project LIFE be used in the home by parents of learning disabled children to accelerate and complement classroom instruction. (GW)
