80: Should I Know Their Reading Level?

It can be a challenge to find materials that are both at a lower reading level and include age-appropriate language skills and concepts.   These materials are so important to find and use though because there is evidence that shows that when we work on age-appropriate language skills with our students, we can boost their reading.   If we bring in materials that are too challenging for them, too simple, or not age-appropriate, our students will have a hard time building their confidence and their skills.   To help you with this challenge, I am covering how to know what materials to bring in to help your students in this episode. I am then getting into how to use them once you have them.   This is another episode in a whole series that I am doing about working with older speech students. Each episode provides helpful tips, advice, and information that will save you tons of time and stress!
