Hi everyone, it’s been 109 days since I posted anything. I took the summer off from blogging to just relax and enjoy my family and yoga. But now I am back in the school year and creating some great plans for some posts this school year.
Tonight I created an adapted story called “10 Red Apples,” inspired by the book/ poem by Pat Hutchins. I an sharing it here via Google slides. Here are a few ways you can incorporate this story into your lesson plans with assistive technology and make it a multi sensory experience
-Consider using a multiple step voiceoutput device for the repeating lines in the story
-use real apples while reading the story
-If using real apples, give students their low vision devices or magnifying glasses to inspect the look and feel of the apples:
-Consider displaying this power point book on your smart board and on a child with VIs laptop/iPad on displayed on the screen. This way, all the kids in the class can access the book and also address Universal Design for Learning elements for your learners
