My Project

I have many students who communicate in multiple modalities (sign, communication device). It can be difficult for their peers to understand and respect this. I would love to have a copy of the book A Day With No Words book that I can read to classes to introduce the idea of communicating with different modalities in a child friendly way.

Making language exciting and motivating is crucial to supporting early language learners.

Hands on learning activities, like the farm animals, the barn set, and the conversation cubes will allow me to engage learners in a variety of ways while keeping it fun and interesting. The Coloring Book, Mirror My Sounds Phoneme Set, and Sentence Building set will be used in small group learning. The poster will help teach SEL skills.

My students are creative, caring, and desire strong connections with the people around them. These resources help me give them the voice they deserve so they can fully engage with the world!
