Strategic Instruction: Language Arts 3

Andy, with his class, worked with a text set focused around the author Todd Parr.  An Adapted text was created to match Andy’s literacy level, and his goal was to match the words to the pictures in the text. Accompanying Board Maker symbols attached with velcro supported Andy’s comprehension and interaction with the text. An augmentative communication device assisted Andy to read the predicted text, “it’s okay” on each page.

Goal Area: Literacy-Sight words, matching picture to word

Literacy Level: Later Emergent

Text:It’s Okay to be different

Visual Supports: It’s Okay to be Different
