Guide to Narrative Language: Procedures for Assessment

Rating:
Summary: Great book for beginning speech-language pathologists (SLP)
Review: I found this book to be extremely helpful as a school-based SLP. It leads you through the process of detemining what type of narrative to elicit for each age group (preschool - 12th). The book was fairly easy to read, and came with lots of research with which to compare a child's performance. It offers many types of forms to use in the assessment process and practical exercises to practice analyzing narrative samples. I will use many of the procedures and forms in my own practice. This would be a great book for grad students as well!
