music

Use the included writing template with your student so they can use words to talk about listening to music.  They can use a variety of words including emotions, actions, descriptors etc.  

Connect the device to the computer using a USB cable or Bluetooth Adaptor. Let the student use his/her device to write the target vocabulary. Be sure to make the font large. Print out the words for your student.

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


WRITING TEMPLATES


 Extension

hearts

Play Musical Hearts with your student. Lay the hearts down on the floor in a circle. Begin playing music and have the student(s) walk around the circle as the music plays. Stop the music. Each student picks up the heart closest to him/her and then finds the word on his/her talker. You can play many different variations of this game. Have the student use the word in a phrase or sentence, or create cards that ask him/her to name specific things (action word, describing word, etc).

Watch “Cups!” by Thud on You Tube. Have your student use his/her core target words throughout the video. Pause the video and have him/her tell you to “play more” or “turn on.” Have him/her tell you to “turn up” or “turn down” and adjust the volume. Come up with your own fun things for him/her to practice.
