Supporting Students With Language Difficulties: Classroom Guide and Planning Resource (Ages 6–12)

This practical classroom guide helps teachers of children ages 6–12 understand receptive and expressive language and plan accessible communication supports. It includes a guide, observation checklist, planning form, and activities that can be used with a class or adapted for an individual child. Children’s communication needs and strengths can vary across people, tasks, and settings, and the resource helps educators notice patterns and choose supportive strategies. Use it when planning classroom communication or reviewing supports, while remembering that observations are not a diagnosis.
