        Semantic correlations

        Build Stronger Semantic and Vocabulary Skills Through Meaningful Word Relationships

        by Alice Kassotaki - Speech Language Pathologist MSc, BSc

        A visual and structured approach to concept categorization and word recall. Semantic Correlations, authored by speech-language pathologist Alice Kassotaki, MSc, BSc, is a carefully designed tool that helps children enhance their lexical and semantic processing abilities. Centered on the principle that new concepts are more easily acquired when linked to existing knowledge, this book guides learners through tasks that reinforce the understanding of semantic relationships and support immediate information recall. The activities unfold over two levels of difficulty. In the first, children are presented with three words, one of which does not belong to the studied category, allowing them to explore differences and establish common semantic properties. In the second, more advanced level, all three words fall within the same category, challenging learners to identify deeper similarities before classifying them. This progression fosters cognitive flexibility and semantic accuracy. Children work on skills such as vocabulary enrichment, receptive and expressive language, categorization, and semantic reasoning. By using hierarchical structures that show the transition from general to specific concepts, the book creates an intuitive visual guide that deepens comprehension. With translation rights available, Semantic Correlations is an ideal addition to any publisher’s special education or speech therapy collection.
