Once I acquired “Ten Hungry Pigs” in my Scholastic e book order a few months in the past, I immediately fell in love with it. It is cute, humorous and excellent for engaged on counting abilities. I knew this was the subsequent e book I wished to adapt for my college students.
Core vocabulary is on the coronary heart of all we do. It is a lot simpler to work actions round core vocabulary (these set of phrases that we use most frequently) and add some fringe (these phrases particular to an exercise) than to make theme or exercise boards. This manner the youngsters start to be taught the place sure phrases are on their boards and be taught to speak quicker.
Once I do shared studying actions with the youngsters, I learn the identical e book on a regular basis however range the actions every day.
On the primary day I’ve the youngsters work on making the sentence “I see # pigs” by pointing to the phrases on their board.
We then make a big class e book. Every little one makes one web page after which we bind it collectively. Some youngsters are prepared for the quantity phrase and a few are engaged on the numerals. The intention of this exercise is to work on sentence construction. Simply because my college students cannot speak doesn’t suggest we will not be engaged on correct sentences.
On the second day we labored on making a giant chart about what meals every pig preferred. Once more, we labored on making sentences and placing phrases collectively.
The kids then made particular person books to show their studying. They accomplished the sentence and added the image of the meals merchandise. For kids who’re in a position to attract, I had them draw an image of the meals merchandise. For little one who’re non-verbal and have little high-quality motor abilities, I held up two meals merchandise decisions and had them eye gaze to the one they wished. I then used hand-over-hand to assist them glue their alternative into their e book.
On day three we talked about private preferences and what the youngsters themselves preferred or did not like. Some of these questions are nice for attending to know the likes and dislikes of our class. Don’t fret in regards to the vocabulary being actual on their communication boards. “Not like” is completely acceptable. Keep in mind, we wish them to make use of what they must get their level throughout. There is not room on the boards for each detrimental. Instructing the youngsters to make use of the “not” image, opens up a variety of choices when it’s mixed with different phrases ( ie. “not joyful” reasonably than “sad”).
On the forth day we talked about what every pig placed on the pile so as. On this method we’re retelling the story so as. The kids have practiced utilizing loads of the vocabulary already.
On the final day I targeting asking the youngsters questions in regards to the story. It is vital to observe answering questions that require greater than a “sure/no” reply. I attempted to incorporate some fringe vocabulary that may lend itself to questions. The response sheet is made up of sure/no questions in order that we observe each.
I hope you get pleasure from this e book as a lot as I’ve.
