  • Tell them that they can picture a TV in their brain/mind/head; when they hear or read things, they can make pictures on this TV.
  • Help them with this process by beginning with familiar items in their homes (pet, sibling, living room). For example, I will ask a student to tell me about his dog. When he has done so, I will tell him that his dog is not present; he was able to describe the dog by using a picture in his brain.

A
  • Tabors recommended that teachers give children some immediate, routine phrases to use to initiate conversation with peers.
  • If an ELL child with LI can be taught such words/phrases as “Hi” “How’s it going?” “Can I play?,” they immediately open themselves up to more language exposure and interaction with other children.
  • Teachers/ SLPs can “double the message” by adding gesture, action, or directed gaze
  • Increasing ch’s comprehension and confidence

Ideas for fine motor/sensory experiences for young children and their parents: (always incorporate language!)

  • Crumple/tear paper
  • Squeeze a rubber ball
136
Q

We can also:

  • Have the child pick up..
  • Encourage the child to..
A
  • Have the child pick up small objects with tweezers. If we are teaching vocabulary through small objects, we can “kill 2 birds with one stone” by having children use tweezers to pick up these objects; this will help develop fine motor skills.
  • Encourage the child to squeeze a squishy ball during listening activities. This enhances attention and helps strengthen hand and finger muscles.

  • Many ELL students with LI confuse right and left. I have pre-adolescents who are still inaccurate with these concepts!
  • Make sure the child is sitting at 90 degree angles. Her feet should be flat on the floor, her posture straight, and her stomach touching the table. Her nonwriting hand should be flat and should support the paper as she writes.
  • A STONE—most frequent in Dolch list**
  • Have children overexaggerate spacing when first learning to write

  • Tier 3 words are..
A
  • In order to implement the Common Core State Standards into intervention, many experts today agree that when working with students with LI, even if they are ELLs, it is optimal to focus on developing “Tier 2” vocabulary words.
  • Tier 1 words are the most basic, common words that many students pick up automatically from their environment (e.g. clock, happy, play). -Tier 3 words are highly specialized, and the frequency of their use is low (peninsula, isotope, radiation)..
169
Q

Tier 2:

High frequency words found across a variety of domains (eg: fortunate, coincidence, similar)

A
  • The CCSS have a strong on building morphological awareness skills beginning in kindergarten.
