With a Critic's Eye: Helping Language/Learning-Disabled Kids Think about Their Thinking.

D'Alessandro, Marilyn

American Educator: The Professional Journal of the American Federation of Teachers, v15 n2 p37-40 Fall 1991

Describes the development of an approach to reading comprehension by teaching 9- and 10-year-old language-disabled and learning-disabled children to think about their thinking. The juxtaposition of reading books and watching videos of the same stories stimulates these children to process written information into a sequence that communicates meaning. (SLD)
