Teacher Language

Give an instruction

‘Copy the action /sound’.

‘Repeat the action/sound’.

Make a Statement

‘You have made a pattern’.

Ask a question

‘Does that sound /look the same?’

‘What sound/ picture is first?’

When carrying out any of the following teaching activities it will be necessary to use different levels of support as indicated in the guidelines table at the beginning of Number. Fade this support as the student works towards developing independence.

There are a variety of acceptable ways a student can indicate a choice or make a response. These include; head/physical movements (e.g. nodding, pointing and reaching) eye gaze and verbal responses.

Whilst the instruction ‘copy’ is used, the student is only required to initiate their own response to visual patterns and patterns of sound.

Selects appropriate object / implement to create a visual pattern.

Teacher selects objects or implements to create a simple visual pattern e.g. teddy bears of two colours or file folder activities. Teacher instructs ‘SN, What would you use to finish that pattern?’ ‘SN, you have made a pattern.’
