Links to communication boards can be found here.

Also check out this page for videos of demonstrations practicing core words.

Student Activities

Have students watch videos featuring the core word "eat". Model how to find and select the word on their devices or communication boards while watching the videos. If this is easy, make it more challenging! Model sentences like "Eat it" or "I want eat" Feel free to pause the video and watch as many times as you would like.

Choose one activity to complete 5 minutes each day. Focus on modeling the word "eat" during this time. Review these ideas for an activity to try that you think your child would find fun.

• Collect different foods, and try to "eat" a bite of each. Do you want to "eat" "more" of that one, or be "done" with it?

• Taking turns at mealtime: Families can play a game where only one person can eat at a time. After they have a bite, they can say "now" "you" "eat" and let someone else have a turn to eat.
