Writing at Home--Day 1

A former student's family asked if I could help bring some "simple writing" activities into the home. Today was my first day and I feel like we had success! We wrote 4 different times, using Microsoft Word and a traditional keyboard, with her Springboard as a way to communicate thoughts and ideas for 5-7 minutes. Between working she wanted to watch a movie, or get a drink.

Today I focused on writing about real life experiences and photos.

We went to the movies and saw Yogi Bear! When we got home I set up the computer and started writing about experience. I put in sentence starters like: "I saw Yogi Bear and it was..." I read out loud to her and then pointed to the keys as a cue for her to being writing.

Here's what she said:
gggmm likkkkkkkkk

(good movie--like)

We ate lunch and then wrote about it. Here's what she said: bb (bad)

We watched clips of a favorite movie and wrote about it. She said: "I hope I get flowers" (springboard programmed phrase) and then spelled ffffffffflllllloowwwwweeeetttttrrrrrsssss with verbal + gestural cues paired.

Whenever she touched "stop writing, I'm done." We took another break.
