What visual instructions or reminder cues should be present in each space to support sequenced and organized performance?
An actual example of a completed thank you letter is one visual cue that student can refer to as he devises his own. It is important to provide an example that is within the capacity of the student. An example that is too advanced (in length, terminology, sentence structure) will not serve the student well. In some cases, it would be appropriate to use one that aligns with the student’s interest (e.g. the thank you letter that Space Cadet Starner writes to the Captain).
Below is one sample that may be appropriate for some students:
The items from this cue card will be taught as individual sessions and tasks throughout instruction of the topic. But, as the student demonstrates comprehension, such a tool as this can provide an on-going review of the many pieces of writing a thank you letter:
In my design of each visual support, have I considered whether the student may need visual clarity cues (added to the to-do list, graphic organizer, social narrative, etc.) to highlight (label) or emphasize key features or concepts?
In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create visual instructions and reminder cues in the View2do program?
