    Activities for Pre-Functionals in the Gen. Ed. Classroom

     
     
    • Make sure you use visuals (pics and vid clips) and model/use body language when you are teaching

     
    • If you are doing an activity with reading and writing involved, give the student a picture related to the activity to have them label things (word bank - vocabulary) and write sentences using those words (if possible)

     
    • Have student draw lines from pictures to words or easy sentences

    • Even the lowest students can copy vocabulary, excerpts, etc. and then read it to another student, or have it read to them.

    • Have student draw a picture from a story they heard or about a topic discussed

     
    • Ask the librarian, ESL teacher, or Special Ed teacher for lower level materials (books, handouts) on subject matter you are teaching

     
    • A star student who works quickly can help the struggling student

     
    • Incorporate games for the whole class to practice vocabulary

     
    • While working on the computer, have students use Read and Write Gold so that they can have things read to them

     
    • Use Rosetta Stone, lower levels of Plato, Starfall and more
