The Importance of Core Language SUBHEAD GOES HERE • Core words make up approximately 80% of our vocabulary • Core words are those 500 or so words that we use frequently throughout the day • By mastering core words, children are able to say many things • For example, core words include: I, see, you, he, she, do, it, the, tell, not, etc. • These words are the glue that make our language cohesive and give us many opportunities to learn and practice language (Zangari & Wise, 2017)
Letter-Sound Correspondence • Letter-sound correspondence refers to the sound(s) each letter(s) make • How to teach letter-sound correspondence: 1. Show the letter and say its sound 2. Have the child listen to this a few times o Focus on the SOUND, not the name 3. Point to the letter and say “a” as in “cat” 4. Provide the child with some letters using letter cards, a letter board, an alphabet screen on a speech-generating device, or a keyboard 5. Say the target sound, “a”, and have the child select the corresponding letter
