Presenting new information at an appropriate language level with visual aids will also assist students when participating in new activities. Repetition, repetition, repetition! Because it can be difficult for students to retain new information, it is very helpful if they are able to hear and see new information multiple times throughout a lesson. ]]> 2017-08-12 21:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/emforkin/mshb2nx3egam/wish/180813452 Instructional Strategies emforkin https://padlet.com/emforkin/mshb2nx3egam/wish/180813455 To assist students with language disorders, the use of visuals can make a big difference. When creating a classroom environment, labeling items around the classroom can help students become familiar with common words. Using pectoral representations along with written instructions can help students make connections between written words and their meanings. Creating language rich enviroments creates opportunities for students to acquire language naturally. ]]> 2017-08-12 21:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emforkin/mshb2nx3egam/wish/180813455 Instructional Strategies emforkin https://padlet.com/emforkin/mshb2nx3egam/wish/180813457 Creating a calm, quiet, low lit classroom environment can help students with light and auditory sensitivities.
