I had the pleasure to visit with these two ladies today as they shared some wonderful ideas on how to incorporate AAC into the classroom. The story for the day was one of my favorites The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything. This is an interactive story that encourages class participation and is perfect for the core word Go.
The lesson began with the students listening to the story. They were able to find the different vocabulary from the story using the interactive choice board provided by their teacher.
The students in the class had fun telling the scary clothes to Go Away!
They also couldn't wait to participate in the group by telling the wind up pumpkin and scarecrow to go when it was their turn. They were able to do this with a variety of methods which included picture exchange, verbalizations, and voice output activation.
This core vocabulary board was also integrated into the lesson to reinforce the word of the day Go. You can find this on Teachers pay Teachers if you would like a copy.

Thanks ladies for sharing your wonderful ideas on how to implement and use AAC when working with preschool students.
