We have been using a fabulous App called Educreations which is like an interactive whiteboard, but at a suitably close visual range for the student. It allows us to create and record lessons in real time. This lesson focusses on the sight word "little" in preparation for a reading book aimed at Emergent level reading skills. This helps the reader assimilate prior knowledge and build language and concepts before tackling the text. Sophie of course, chose Tinkerbell. With direction, she is able to import images from the web and use her fingers to resize them.
Below is another lesson where she was able to practice writing her name on the iPad. We are working on correct letter formation, and sometimes use "Rainbow Writing" to develop the motor memory of these letters. Further consolidation of this is required, however with specific verbal prompts, Sophie's ability to write her name is improving.
