Why Go Core?

When you teach your students CORE vocabulary, you're giving them so much more than just a few words. 

You're giving them the words they need to start a conversation, to comment to a friend, or to ask for something they want, or interject into a conversation.

Simply put, you're giving them the words they need to communicate. 
Instead of teaching your student to say- "Apple...Apple...Apple" by handing them a laminated picture of an apple.

They'll be able to say- "want more" or point and say "there" to indicate where their snack is.

Core words are the words we all use to communicate with each other every day. 
Give your students the words they need to develop true language skills, don't hold them back to simply requesting items that are in their immediate vicinity. 
Are you ready for the best part?

Teaching core words are... way easier than picture exchange systems! 
No more printing/ cutting/ laminating the same set of nouns, only to have them destroyed or lost in a few days. 
If you're teaching non-verbal students you can use a speech generating device or the low tech version- core boards (we've supplied you with a link if you don't already have one) and you just print and laminate, that's it, everything they need is just on one page, and no more moving pieces to lose, it's amazing! 
We hope you're ready to switch over, and Go CORE. This packet has everything you need to get started! 
This packet is HUGE!  It provides a plethora of resources to your students engaged and communicating. 
With CORE language the focus is on getting students to truly develop their language, by understanding the words and how they are used in conversation.
