Students with expressive language delays may struggle primarily with what?

  1. Comprehending written texts

  2. Articulating their thoughts and ideas

  3. Interpreting body language

  4. Memorizing information

The correct answer is: Articulating their thoughts and ideas

Students with expressive language delays primarily struggle with articulating their thoughts and ideas. Expressive language involves the ability to convey or express information, feelings, and thoughts through speech, writing, or gestures. When students experience delays in this area, they may have difficulty forming coherent sentences, using appropriate vocabulary, or organizing their thoughts effectively for communication. This can lead to challenges in participating in conversations, sharing ideas in class, or completing written assignments, as these tasks require the ability to communicate effectively. While comprehension of written texts, interpretation of body language, and memorization are important skills, they are not the central issues for students specifically facing expressive language delays. These students might understand written material well, grasp nonverbal cues, or memorize information, but their main challenge lies in the ability to express themselves clearly and fluently.
