18 Jan - 24 Feb: Core Movies

Made a series of movies of Michael reading and saying on his communication aid the 300 core words his tutor at college is determined are beyond his level. For the very few words he hesitated with - either because he didn't know the hieroglyphic sequences to them on his Pathfinder, or he misread them or could not read them - we talked about meaning and knocked up some 'repetition with variety' sentences for him to practice using them and finding them on his machine. 

Playlist of the movies on Michael's YouTube channel: 

Note: We did not teach Michael the core words by drilling him to read word lists. He has learned these words over a number of years, incidentally through real life talking and writing, and in a structured way through language lessons based on ESL.
