Accommodations & Differentiation Strategies
Fine Motor Supports:
- Use spring-assisted loop scissors for students with grip difficulties.
- Highlight cutting borders with yellow marker for high visual contrast.
- Use glue sticks with purple disappearing tint to monitor coverage.
Visual & Literacy Scaffolds:
- Provide student name card/desk plate right beside Card 3 for 1:1 matching.
- Pre-highlight the child's vowels or consonants in the bubble grid.
- Offer pre-written dotted letter model for students to trace on lines.
Paper & Prep Options:
- Large Option: Ideal for emergent cutters needing wide margins.
- Small Option (Page 3): Saves 50% paper; prints 2 cameras and compact cards on a single sheet.
Chunk tasks: Give cards one at a time to keep students calm and focused without task avoidance.
