Dr. Zipoli, CCC-SLP

Instruction that targets challenging sentence structures is relatively underemphasized in many reading programs. We will identify four potentially confusing types of sentence structures, examine misleading processing strategies, and introduce intervention procedures that can be used to improve readers’ comprehension of challenging sentences.
