Re: Reading was Cue Cards was Scrolling

[Guest guest]

I wanted to add that these cue cards can also lead to early literacy

because you can lay the cards down in a row and

1. have the child label/tact them and reinforce with completely

different though power reinforcer (Read: Juice, movie, apple,

clay, book) mix them up to avoid rote learning but have many words

present.

2. add other cue cards of articles and phrases and teach and

reinforce that with the payoff of the reinforcer on the card

(I want to drink juice -> I like juice -> Juice tastes good.)

3. teach it all to fluency, pair with sign and then begin to fade

and transfer it to vocal behavior or sign to enhance communication

while continuing to bring in new cue cards to increase

vocabulary...and teaching ANYTHING under the mand/I want condition

is the easiest, as we all know.

My son has a difficult time coming under the control of an echoic

prompt so transfer never happened well and prompt dependency was an

issue. Needless to say, he remained a " a no/low rate

speaker/beginner learner " for years...written/visual is much easier -

- words being the easiest, it seems. It is opening up a new world

for him...words.
