 Speaking

taking a photo

Model an action followed by a verbal model using the pronoun “I” followed by a past tense regular verb. For example, model the action of walking. As you head for the door, stop and model “I walked.”

Show a photo of an activity that you were engaged in while modeling a phrase that demonstrates how you felt in the past, for example:  “I loved swimming” or “I hated going on that ride.” Follow up asking a question about a specific past tense activity that the individual was engaged in, for example: “Tell me how you felt about your trip.”



 Reading

Present shared background knowledge to the individual regarding activities that happened in the past. Some examples: “We went on a field trip yesterday and did lots of things; we looked at animals, played a fun game, and did lots more.” Explain that in the story “Lola the Lion,” we will be talking about her day.

Present the purpose of the story that will be read to the child so they have knowledge of what to listen for. For example, “we are reading a story about a lion named Lola; we will learn about all the things she did.” Then instruct the individual to listen to the story so that they can tell what Lola did.

Download the teaching materials at the end of this lesson. Read the story. Focus on the past tense verbs.

Reread the story together. Wait for the individual to read out loud the past tense verbs.

If he/she has difficulty producing a past tense verb, you may model a sentence. Allow the individual to try again.


BOOKS


 Writing

usb cable

Connect the device to a computer with a USB cable or Bluetooth module. Let the person practice writing the target words into a word document.

If you are using WordPower (Saltillo or TouchChat), save the person’s writing using Stories and Scripts within the vocabulary.  Learn more about this feature here.  

Read the story again, and have the person write target phrase on the computer.

Use this book as a template for the person to write their own story using their favorite animal, photos of classmates, or of themselves.

Use the included writing template with your student to write the story using computer emulation. Text can be inserted on each line using the AAC device connected to the computer either with a USB cable or a Bluetooth module. When one line is full, the student can tab to the next line. Stories can be printed and illustrations can be added.

Talk about past experiences that the person may have had. Ask the person to write a story about what he or she did, as well as how they felt about their experiences.


WRITING TEMPLATES


 Extension

lion mane

Create a lion mane with your student.  Cut out a circle with room in the middle for the student's face.  Cut out strips of orange, yellow and red.  Tell the student a verb from the target list.  Ask them to tell you the past tense of each verb.  Write the word on one of the strips and attach to the circle.  Have them model the lion mask once it is complete.  You can also name other verbs and ask them to name the past tense of each verb.  

Model using past tense verbs during teachable moments. For example, after you complete an activity, state what action or activity had just occurred and how you felt about it, for example: “I played with my dog,” “I liked it.”

Use favorite toy activities such as fisher price animals and a barn to elicit phrases after an action or activity, such as “my horse walked down the road,” “What did your horse do?”
