Complex Challenges for Comprehension

Complex Challenges for Comprehension, by Susan Howell Brubaker, Carolyn Doty, and Lisa Mammoser, is a unique collection of mid- to high-level reading tasks that target functional reading, deductive reasoning, sequencing, and following directions for clients with reading and auditory comprehension challenges. Reading tasks can be easily adapted to listening tasks; pages with an ear icon are appropriate for auditory stimulation. Includes 40 one-, two-, and three-page comprehension tasks in easy-to-read format with task directions and space for answers. After reading the directions, client identifies the strategies that would be most helpful for the task, and then completes the task. All tasks can be completed multiple times while measuring and evaluating outcomes. User log and answer key provided. Clients enjoy these tasks because they challenge their higher-level reading skills and their use of internal and external strategies. Tasks may also be used for stroke and TBI treatment addressing aphasia, language skills, cognition, and memory.
