Teacher Language

 

Give an instruction

‘Paint/colour/touch within the area.’

‘Cover the area.’

 

Make a statement

‘You are painting/ colouring/touching in the…..’

 

Ask a question

When carrying out any of the following teaching activities it will be necessary to use different levels of support as indicated in the guidelines table at the beginning of Number. Fade this support as the student works towards developing independence.

 

Makes a mark /feels within a designated area

For this activity it would be necessary to outline an area using a sensory border such as sandpaper. The area could be any shape on any surface. Using the teacher language, students are prompted to make a mark/touch within the border. Teacher states ‘SN you are painting/colouring/touching within the area’.

 

Covers designated area, going beyond the boundary

For this activity it would be necessary to outline an area on a piece of card / paper or IWB. The aim is to have the student cover this area. This could be done with pencil, paint or paper. The student is not required to stay within the boundaries / border.
