Product Description:
Many children with language impairments have persistent problems with word order
processing and production. This pioneering language intervention program addresses these
problems using strategies derived from linguist Noam Chomsky's revolutionary Principles
and Parameters Model of language acquisition. Simple Sentence Structure assists children
with language disorders to correctly set universal word order parameters to their English
Subject-Verb-Object word order setting.
Here's how it works
Simple Sentence Structure highlights the roles of subjects, verbs, and objects in
sentences. Two pictures appear on the screen and the child is asked to choose the picture
that illustrates a particular sentence. Children work through four sentence sets:
contrasting verbs, contrasting objects, contrasting subjects, and finally, subject/object
reversal.
Six levels of training
This program contains an animated game that vividly introduces the concepts, four levels
of instruction for each sentence set, and a test for pre- and post-testing. At each level,
the program has varying amounts of instruction, cuing, and feedback to accommodate a wide
range of learners.
Teacher friendly
Our unique Parameters Menu allows you to tailor a lesson to suit an individual's needs. At
the end of the lesson, you can review a summary of the student's performance and save it
for your records.
Special Macintosh and Windows Features

a student's records from Laureate's programs in one file.
