I am beginning to work with a lot of ESOL students and want to instill in them the ability to communicate with their teachers. They are usually able to talk with peers, but often shut down when it comes to classroom engagement.

Really great ideas! I have used a lot of acting-out-books activities, but I can see some great ways to expand phonological skills using some of the same activities. My favorite is Very Hungry Caterpillar— my kids loved “hatching” out of a bedsheet cocoon and wearing butterfly wings. Super high engagement.

This information gives me some new ideas for engaging with preschool and early elementary on the foundational skills for language and moving to reading/writing. This was a great course to take at the beginning of a new school year, as I look at what I can bring to therapy that is fun and new, but working on those old goals from last year, and building forward. Excellent resources too!

The video examples and other illustrative pictures/ content examples helped clarify the content of the presentation. I realize the presentation likely had a 1 hour limit so she had to be brief.
