400 exercices de lecture et compréhension

1st Edition
April 15, 2011
Marie-Christine Perret
French

Les difficultés de compréhension de l'écrit sont souvent dues à une représentation erronée de l'énoncé. Ce n'est pas la lecture qui est mise en doute mais la compréhension qui est perturbée, engendrant parfois des interprétations fantaisistes. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif d'aider le lecteur à acquérir progressivement une autonomie dans la construction du sens : savoir lire et comprendre ce qui est lu. L'auteur utilise le rapport texte/dessin, un procédé intéressant car il renvoie aux premières lectures, où l'adulte lit l'histoire pendant que l'enfant se repère à l'aide des illustrations. De plus, cet outil a l'avantage de permettre de travailler sous plusieurs formes : une phrase par rapport à deux dessins dont un seul correspond, deux phrases pour un seul dessin, le même nombre de phrases et de dessins avec correspondance entre eux. Des questions sont aussi proposées, ainsi que des consignes pour guider l'enfant dans la réalisation de l'exercice. Cette relation texte/dessin suppose à la fois la compréhension d'une image et d'un énoncé qui va au-delà de la compréhension de l'écrit. Cet ouvrage offre aux professionnels, enseignants ou rééducateurs, mais aussi aux parents, 400 exercices et des possibilités d'entraînement multiples. Le fascicule est accompagné d'un CD-ROM qui permettra aux intervenants d'imprimer à volonté les exercices.

Neurological Assessment

1st Edition

Karen Jones
English

Neurological Assessment is a quick reference tool for identifying those all important links to pathology and physiology – crucial for efficient clinical reasoning and ultimately better patient care. Tabulated and coded neuroanatomy and assessment sections ensure clear navigable links from the problem definition (pathology) to relevant assessment information. For each clinical assessment tool there is a description of what the procedure is assessing, why it needs to be assessed and finally a step by step guide to how the assessment is carried out. All sections give detailed reasoning on any possible findings from the assessment technique and an example of how to record the procedure, encouraging the clinician to reflect on the technique carried out and to consider the overall impression from the patient, so facilitating the process of clinical reasoning. Part of the Physiotherapist’s Toolbox Series – unlock your key skills! Perfect for use on placement and in the clinic.
