Contextualized language intervention (CLI) is a treatment approach that seeks to target multiple language skills in the context of meaningful, functional, and curriculum-based activities. For school-age children, literature-based language intervention is a type of CLI that can simultaneously target a variety of semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic language skills, while also supporting the core curriculum. This tutorial demonstrates how to design lapbooks (collections of mini-books, pockets, and foldables laid out in a standard file folder) to organize and creatively display the language learning activities completed for each literature unit. Links to a series of instructional videos are also provided via the author's YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCne6IbEwEf8eWVyJxHPXvPw ).
