We enjoyed watching and talking about the Recycled Boat Race yesterday! The APES class made some creative boats!

My student shared about the prom in morning meeting. He painted a pretty accurate picture of a great night.

We did a great job INDEPENDENTLY finding words that start with a C (/k/) sound! Costume, Coke, cupcake and Communication device!

Halloween is a great day to launch our adapted novel study of Frankenstein! Today we introduced some of the themes of choices, friendship, appearance and science ethics! And made predictions about “the creature!”

Halloween fun!

I have been trying to expand on the predictable chart writing for my bridging/transitional readers. Here is a student’s independent writing about a prediction of the creature from Frankenstein.

Cool reading moment with my aac user: Looks at this page. Touches the word “write.” Goes to his aac device to his letters and finds “w.” Then writes “w” on his desk with his finger.

Duties as assigned

Using realia to teach “The Gold Bug.” We used treasure maps with invisible ink. My student found you could only see the “street” with the “light.” Then you can find “money,” get “rich” and use a “credit card.” #aac #readtopia

My emerging reader and aac user independently found so many words that start S! ErinT_SLP #literacyforall Lauren Bonnet, PhD, CCC-SLP APSVA SLPs

Independently identified the word “pool” in text (A little hard to tell from my “let’s see if I can get him to do it again on video” attempt). The third word this week!

Showing some of the LAMP he knows on our low tech board! It may be to escape work but it’s still pretty great!

Great comments on “The Gold Bug” today. Gold sounds like “cold”. From another student gold sounds like “good.” Building Wings APSVA SLPs @twoarlhokies Lauren Bonnet, PhD, CCC-SLP

Teaching embedded phonics at the high school level can be fun. While reading Treasure Island, the student sees “rum” and says “run” on his AAC device. We talk about how those words sound the same and different. Building Wings APSVA SLPs Lauren Bonnet, PhD, CCC-SLP ErinT_SLP
