Abstract

Literate classrooms immerse students in language, providing them with frequent opportunities to read, write, speak, and listen for a variety of purposes. Language-rich classrooms provide students with a variety of language experiences which encourage the development of literacy and oral language and also enable students to use their language to support their learning. When SLPs collaborate with classroom teachers to develop language-rich environments in the classroom, they increase the likelihood that the goals of therapy will be supported throughout the school day.
