Children’s Early Intervention for Speech-Language-Reading
Wilma Jean Tade / Edited by: Gary J. Vitali
The CEI is designed to assist speech-language pathologists and educators to work toward the remediation of oral language delay, intelligible speech, and reading readiness. It recognizes the importance of family involvement and CEI promotes family to become active integral members in a team approach. Part A activities foster phonological awareness, an understanding of letter name and letter/sound correspondence, the development of work segmentation and sound-blending skills, improvement in intelligibility, the enlargment of vocabulary, development of numerical and linguistic concepts, and the expansion of listening and thinking skills.
The 38 Learning Activities in Part B1 operate at a more difficult level and include the acquisition of metalinguistic abilities. The 42 Learning Activities of Part B2 continue all of the above in teaching sounds, fostering habituation of difficult speech sounds, expansion of vocabulary, understanding of more advanced numerical concepts, and the development of higher level of listening, reading, writing, thinking, and metalinguistic skills. The CEI is effective with multicultural, hearing impaired, or “at-risk” children. The comprehensive manual offers step-bystep instructions for many naturalistic activities which are educationally/IEP relevant.
