The Path to Comprehension

The intent of my manual is to empower therapists to allow children to begin to create an academic identity as a means to allow them to communicate their inner selves to the outside world. Interestingly, there is a current movement in the U.S. educational world that has begun to combine the sometimes differentiated worlds of listening, speaking, and reading. This current movement now holds the powers of listening, speaking, and reading as all equal despite their often overlooked relationship. This movement has grown as into what is now known as the Common Core Standards. In this 'Standards' movement, there is the total objective to prepare all children for a post-secondary education that has both altruistic and pragmatic intentions since the nature of our world is ever changing into a more automated and challenging society that will have greater academic demands upon its workers.
