English Learning Continuum Content
| Vocalises | Maintains attention | Responds to sounds, familiar people, songs and phrases |
| Uses gestures/body language with support to comment |
Vocalises
Listen for a reflex vocalisation from the student when engaged in any singing activity. Immediately respond by interpreting it as an attempt to sing along and say, “SN is singing! Good singing SN!” Respond in this manner as often as possible to encourage further attempts to vocalise and participate in singing activities. This activity could be adapted for use during any other activity throughout the school day such as sand play, water play and sensory room visits etc.
Maintains Attention
Present a student with textured letters and comment on specific letters. For example, “This makes the sound ‘m’. Let’s feel it.” Provide the least amount of support needed for the student to touch the letters and feel the texture. Listen for any vocalisation from the student and attribute meaning to any attempt to say the name and/or sound of the letter. Praise the student for maintaining attention and repeat this process with other letters.
Responds to sounds, familiar people, songs and phrases
Play a familiar song at a volume level that will attract a student’s attention. Look for any reflex movement the student makes in response to the song and say “SN can hear the song ….. SN is smiling. SN likes this song!” Stop the song and look for any movement or response that may indicate that the student would like to hear the song again. When the student makes a reflex movement attribute meaning to it by saying, “SN wants more!” Press play and again look for any reflex movement and respond appropriately. Repeat this process a few times to encourage and reinforce the skill of responding.
Uses gestures/body language with support to comment
Observe any gesture/body language movement a student may use repeatedly in response to a situation, activity or item. This could include touching their nose when they enjoy something or stamping their feet when they do not like something. Immediately attribute meaning to this action and say, “SN is … SN likes/does not like….”
Identify a student’s favourite song, movie, toy or activity. Notice any gesture or body language used by the student when the favoured item/activity is presented. Immediately attribute meaning to the action and say, “SN is smiling. SN likes …” or “SN is leaning closer to …. SN likes …” Non-preferred items/activities could also be used to develop a student’s ability to comment. It is important to be vigilant when observing students as gestures/body language can often be small and easily overlooked. Ensure interpretations are consistently applied.
