Facilitator Tips for Primary Teachers
Visual Focus: Encourage teachers to use prompts like "Include emojis" or "Add icons" to help non-readers or early readers navigate materials.
Formatting: Remind them that Lenny can "Add more line spacing" or "Use a larger font" with a simple follow-up request.
Differentiation: Demonstrate how to create two versions of the same reading passage (e.g., "One version at Grade 2 level, one version at Grade 1 level").
Manipulatives: Suggest using Lenny to create "sorting cards" or "matching games" that they can print and laminate for centers.
