For example, if students are performing at-risk on Nonsense Word Fluency in Dibels, due to lack of short vowel knowledge, I will reteach short vowels and the CVC closed vowel pattern. Sometimes this is with real words and other times we practice reading nonsense words.

Of course, the true test of mastery is whether students are able to apply these skills within text. However, isolated phonics skills practice is a useful tool to bring struggling students to the place where they have those skills and can apply them to real text.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 20:08:53 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27940 Topic "CLOZE PROCEDURE" a message from paulette17 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:38:22 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27939 Topic "small steps" a message from SLP Thu, 17 May 2012 15:38:42 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27900 Topic "Spirit of Generosity" a message from SLP Thu, 17 May 2012 15:30:45 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27938 Topic "Changes in instruction" a message from ldempsey Thu, 17 May 2012 15:24:31 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27937 Topic "Voice in Hospitality" a message from ldempsey Thu, 17 May 2012 15:23:37 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=25121 Topic "6 + 1 and Special Education" a message from ldempsey Thu, 17 May 2012 15:20:37 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27936 Topic "The Ungame" a message from SLP Some questions in Teens deck 2 include:

I also use songs while walking the children between rooms. We sing "hi ho hi ho it's off to speech we go, to look and listen and use our words, hi hio hi ho." Or, while walking the kids back to their room, we sing "hi ho hi ho it's back to the room we go to see our friends and say hello, hi ho hi ho."

I also incorporate several other songs while we're walking up and down the stairs or in the hallway. This seems to help the students learn the concepts of going up and down and right and left.

I like the idea of using Bach, but don't see a feasible way to use it during these transition times.

Anyone have any ideas?]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 12:38:59 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=19296 Topic "Music in the Classroom" a message from MGraup2 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:29:40 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=26907 Topic "Incorporating Music...Especially Classical" a message from tldoucette
Although I've never tried it, I'm also planning to play a little Bach during their independent work time. I'm hoping it will calm/focus them so they can complete their work with minimal distraction from others, or intervention from me.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 12:28:51 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27935 Topic "Whole Brain Teaching" a message from MGraup2 http://www.wholebrainteaching.com and many videos of teachers, as a variety of grade levels, are searchable through YouTube.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 12:26:45 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27934 Topic "Positivity" a message from masticha Thu, 17 May 2012 11:37:35 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=9242 Topic "Professional Development" a message from masticha Thu, 17 May 2012 11:31:35 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27933 Topic "Syllabus" a message from masticha Thu, 17 May 2012 11:25:13 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27932 Topic "changes" a message from bpierce Thu, 17 May 2012 07:53:44 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=26663 Topic "Sarcasm -- ever appropriate???" a message from bpierce Thu, 17 May 2012 07:48:01 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27931 Topic "Wait time with White boards" a message from bpierce Thu, 17 May 2012 07:38:14 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27258 Topic "Math Journals" a message from vvcook Wed, 16 May 2012 15:59:11 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27138 Topic "working memory capacity" a message from vvcook Wed, 16 May 2012 15:55:03 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27930 Topic "Telling Time by the Hour" a message from vvcook Wed, 16 May 2012 15:50:50 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=23542 Topic "Math Fun Day" a message from vvcook Wed, 16 May 2012 15:45:46 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27929 Topic "Follow Up" a message from kdike
I will be talking with all the teachers in August regarding their students from this year. I will determine students with ADHD and what type of teaching style worked best for them. I will then make every effort to make sure my lessons are adapted for those students in order for them to understand all the information being given.

In addition, my goal is to talk with every student who is diagnosed with ADHD or shows signs of ADHD to determine whether or not they received accurate information from my lesson. I want to be able to see them within two days of my lessons. It would be best if I could pull them from the classroom immediately, but this is not a realistic goal. The time that they are waiting may actually give them some time to process what has been taught.

Although we have had some successes with children who have ADHD, I am hoping I can give an extra piece to help them succeed even more.]]> Wed, 16 May 2012 14:02:29 GMT http://www.learnersedgeinc.com/Forum-And-Resources/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=27928 Topic "Gum Chewing" a message from kdike Wed, 16 May 2012 13:59:54 GMT
