At a time when awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is starting to grow in schools, the question turns to "how can we support our students with DLD to learn?" And Katie Little's book fits the bill. Drawing on her experience as a teacher and SENCO, Katie provides a practical and feasible guide. There are hundreds of ideas that will leave the readers thinking "I can do that". But what [ she] does extremely well is explain why these methods work. DLD is very common, and so every school needs a copy of this book. And every class teacher needs to be familiar with the content. Stephen Parsons, Chair, RADLD International
