Abstract
The ability to understand and use basic concepts is a key to academic success. This study demonstrated that short-term, large-group basic concept instruction significantly improved the basic concept scores of children in Head Start as measured by the Boehm Test of Basic Concepts-Revised (Boehm, 1986a). The intervention combined direct instruction, interactive and incidental teaching techniques, and enabled the speech-language pathologist to serve children effectively.Keywords
