(12 pages) - this adorable book has your students finding dogs making not the best choices, their job is to tell the dog to "Come here!" before he creates more of a mess!  Where is it? Here it is? Find the Elf (22 Pages)- Your students can partner up with this book having one of them practice reading/ asking the question "Where is it?" while the other finds the elf and says "Here it is." Look There Fairy (25 pages) Another look and find book, but this time your student will practice saying "Look there" to direct another person's attention to the location of a fairy hidden in the images. I Want to go... There (13 pages) Your student will be able to express their desire by choosing a location they'd rather go.

Remarkably, these seemingly simple words make up roughly 80% of what we say!  They can be used and combined for a full variety of communicative functions (such as initiation, termination, commenting, requesting, asking, interjecting and directing others). Teaching core vocabulary allows students the chance to do more than just get their needs and wants met, but to develop authentic language skills!  Modeling and repetition are important parts of core vocabulary learning and instruction.  You may notice that some products contain repetitive refrains or frequent repetitions of the same core words.  This is done with the intent of getting the most repetition and practice possible while still having fun! Great for Independent Work Station    Core Suggestions Suggestions for using core vocabulary communications boards/ AAC Devices: 1) It’s okay to be slow! Your students will need the extra time to find icons and follow your models, so going slow is only beneficial! 2) Model, model, model. Students learn by watching you use the core board/ device and hearing you speak the words. If your student is hesitant about touching the board at first, then for now you can settle for letting them attend to you using the board. This can be a nice introduction to the idea that the boards are there for communication. 3) You are NOT limited to only using the words “stop” and ‘go.” These words should be the focus of the next two weeks, but feel free to be modeling words and phrases as appropriate in all settings. Also, when you are modeling use of the board you do not need to touch an icon for every single word that you say. For example, you may tell a student “Look at your work,” but the only icon you touch might be “look.”  4) Everybody should be on board. All staff members who interact with the students should get familiar using the core board. This is now a way that we can all communicate with each other.
