The second of three skill sequence manuals for special education students considers the development of language arts. Objectives are listed sequentially for the following major areas (sample subcategories in parentheses): classification (listening/speaking, sorting, grouping); comprehension (affective, factual recall, following directions, integrating, and problem solving); readiness (alphabet/numerals, auditory skills, general, visual skills); sequencing; social skills; study skills; syntax and grammar; vocabulary; and word attack (contextual, phonetic, structural analysis). Skills are also broken down for listening and speaking, reading, and writing (handwriting, spelling, grammar and composition). Nearly one-half the document is composed of 10 appendixes, including a mathematics screening checklist and teaching/learning guide. (CL)
