Get/Put

Target Vocabulary

Core:• Get• Put• She

Fringe:• Bowl• Ice cream• Chocolate• Candy• Cherry• Spoon• Happy

Teaching Ideas• Teach the target vocabulary first.• Before using with your student, preview the book, especially the animations

to best support communication opportunities.• Read the book together; ask questions that support use of the target

vocabulary (the idea is NOT for the student to copy icon sequences). • Prompt to use the targets (i.e., “Tell me about the girl/Patty.” or “Tell me what

Patty did.” rather than “What did Patty get?”).• Skip articles like “the” and “a” until student has mastered the core vocabulary.• Look up other words; pivot off the core vocabulary to include fringe (i.e., “Get

ice cream” “Put candy on”).• Create an event (i.e., make a sundae) and allow the device user to direct

others to get the ingredients. • Recap the activity to allow students to talk about what they and others used

(put/get to make their sundae.
