Ricerca – Crescere Parlando

Le attività nel libro Crescere parlando sono supportate da numerosi studi conclusi con bambini prescolari nel contesto dell’educazione prescolare (con bambini 3-5 anni), con bambini tipici e bambini con ritardo di linguaggio. Ci sono cinque attività di intervento linguistico incluse nel libro che corrispondono ai primi cinque capitoli pratici. L’ultimo capitolo pratico (il bilinguismo) applica tutte le attività di intervento con bambini bilingue che hanno un ritardo di linguaggio. Le attività e i suggerimenti inclusi nei capitoli pratici sono basati sulle evidenze fino ad ora accumulate. Le attività di intervento sono suggerite per la facilitazione del linguaggio in bambini prescolari. Per una bibliografia più estesa, leggete quella inclusa alla fine di ogni capitolo del libro.
