Opportunities to Engage with the Word Wall | English Language Arts Strategies for Students with Cognitive Disabilities
In this self-contained high school classroom, the teacher has students identify the beginning sound in a word. She then selects a student to match the beginning sound of a word to the correct letter on the word wall. The teacher narrows the choices (alphabet letters) and then provides the student with multiple opportunities to identify the correct letter. The teacher asks students to help their classmate identify the correct word wall letter. The video demonstrates effective strategies for engaging students with significant cognitive disabilities in literacy instruction.
