Word Retrieval activities for Children
Author : Edusearch
What is a word-retrieval problem? The terms ï¿½word retrieval problemï¿½ or ï¿½word finding difficultyï¿½ imply that the person knows and understands the word, and has used it correctly before. However, they have difficulty retrieving such known words at times. Children and adults with language disorders are frequently found to have word retrieval difficulties. Often when a person (child or adult) is having difficulty retrieving a word they will have the sense that it is ï¿½on the tip of their tongueï¿½: a state of affairs familiar to all of us; at other times they seem simply to ï¿½go blankï¿½. The rest of this article covers assessment and great activities to help those with a word retrieval problem. more Caroline Bowen is a Speech Language Pathologist.
