Knowledge: What is it?

• Systematic, developmentally sequenced, integrated cognitive language literacy strategy
• Strategy combines instructional principles of Bloom's Taxonomy & the developmental neuropsychological Processing Continuum Model premise.
• Systematically converts spoken language semantics & syntax into grammar in a developmentally sequenced order.

Comprehension: What does it do?

• Links skill development across language literacy continuum rather than isolating skill training into segments of thinking, language, listening, speaking, reading and writing.
• Organizes cognitive language tasks from simple to complex for intervention planning.
• Applicable for assessment, goal/objective selection and progress monitoring.
• Enhances analytical skills of comparing and contrasting.
• Trains students to pay attention to detail.
• Enhances problem solving skills.
• Progresses from simple to complex thinking skills, sentence patterns, word meanings figures of speech.
• Makes repetitive multimodal input demands that facilitates fluency skill development at each level of the continuum.
• Develops numerous associative linkages in long term memory by processing words multiple times along the language continuum.
