Function of the item
Appearance
What the item is made of
Parts of the item
Location
As a mnemonic device, it provides visual and tactile information to help expand word choice, keep students on topic, reduce the need for prompting, and improve organization and comprehension. Students quickly learn each symbol and consistently describe and define objects and items providing 6-7 details in an organized manner. This program has been classroom tested in both regular and special education classes. It supports Language Arts curriculum and is also designed for RTI, Inclusion, Content Based Instruction and more. Student ages: preschool through high school.
