These activities use middle school content and tone to target classroom language skills in vocabulary, grammar, questions, and following directions.

Written in the best-selling format of the Help series, these lessons have:

goal-driven activities
high quality, timeless content
appeal to a broad age-range
gradual increase in complexity within and between activities
application to a wide range of developmental and acquired disorders
