2 Welcome! Introductions Today’s webinar
Review of early literacy learning model Review of resources Review of key training and follow-up points Review of adaptations power point

3 Review of Early Literacy Learning Model

4 Review of Literacy-Rich Environments
Contexts in which children engage in interest-based everyday literacy activities provided by responsive adults All interactions with children occur in the context of the physical environment

5 Review of Child Interests
All children have interests Some interests are personal interests Some interests are situational interests Children’s interests form the basis of their learning Cycle of mastery – an interest can lead to engagement in an activity, which leads to competence and eventually mastery

6 Review of Everyday Literacy Activities
They provide opportunities for early literacy learning They happen in everyday situations, whether planned or unplanned They provide functional use of literacy

7 Review of Responsive Teaching
Responsive teaching is the “just right” amount of support for young children to gain competence in and to master early literacy skills It involves adults paying attention to and responding to children, introducing new information, and supporting and encouraging new child behavior

10 Review of Key Training and Follow-up Points
Follow the training and activity process!! Involve your CSPD coordinator (Montana) or ECE Office (South Dakota) Make sure we receive your training participant rosters for trainings and activities Follow-up with the people you train and the people you talk to about CELL Reinforce the concepts you trained on or talked about Find out what they’re doing with information you gave them

11 What is the Adaptations PPT?
Based on the CELL Early Literacy Learning Model, a trainer or technical assistance provider can utilize this PPT to introduce and illustrate a continuum of adaptations. Designed to be used with professionals who train practitioners or teachers

16 Introduction to Adaptations - Definition
Modification or change made to an environment, activity, materials or interaction to maximize a child’s ability to participate in everyday interest-based learning opportunities

17 Introduction to Adaptations - Definition
Adaptations ensure that children with disabilities: Can express their interests and have them interpreted correctly Can engage in early literacy activities Can become skillful and competent in early literacy activities and behaviors Can master early literacy behaviors Adaptations offer the necessary support so that children with disabilities can participate in activities at the greatest level possible

20 Environmental Adaptations - Introduce
Modification made to the environment to ensure that a child can get to and participate in an activity independently

21 Environmental Adaptations - Illustrate
EXAMPLES: Placing books within a child’s reach by moving them to a lower shelf Rearranging furniture so a child can easily walk across the room using crutches or a wheelchair

23 Activity Adaptation - Introduce
Select an activity based on a child’s interests and adjust the activity in ways necessary to ensure that the child can participate in the activity independently

24 Activity Adaptation - Illustrate
Often an adaptation to an activity involves adding visual, kinesthetic, and auditory aids to support the child in participating in the activity EXAMPLES: Add movements to a song to keep an active child engaged Add props to story time to help a child follow along and understand the story

25 Activity Adaptation - Practice
You work with a child who loves music. The child is able to move her arms freely, but is unable to hold a musical instrument Identify an appropriate activity adaptation to support this child’s participation in music

27 Material Adaptation - Introduce
Making modification to a material needed in the activity for a child to easily manipulate or use the material, enhancing his/her participation in the activity

28 Material Adaptation - Illustrate
EXAMPLES: Using large-grip pencils to draw a picture Providing child-sized utensils to feed oneself Placing non-slip shelf liner under a bowl or plate to help a child feed herself independently Taping paper to the table so it won’t slide and the child is able to write and draw independently

29 Material Adaptation - Practice
Identify an adaptation for a child who is unable to turn the pages of a book while reading with her mother

31 Instructional Adaptation - Introduce
The adult modifies or adjusts instruction and requirements based on the individual child so the child can participate in the activity as completely and independently as possible A few ways the adult may do this are by reducing the steps of the activity or by extending the length of time in which the child is expected to perform an activity

32 Instructional Adaptation - Illustrate
EXAMPLES: Waiting and allowing the child enough time to respond before providing more adaptations Adding pictures along with print to represent the verbal instruction Allowing a child to stand during an activity rather than sit

33 Instructional Adaptation - Practice
Create a literacy-related instructional adaptation for making play dough In other words, how would you adapt your instruction for making play dough so that every child may participate?

35 Provide Assistance - Introduce
An adult or a peer either provides physical assistance or does the activity for the child In Cara’s Kit, Milbourne and Campbell state, “Provide assistance only when other adaptations have not worked, and only as a last resort.” Source: Cara’s Kit, Milbourne & Campbell, 2007

36 Provide Assistance - Illustrate
EXAMPLES: Providing hand-over-hand support Modeling for the child how to do something such as how to draw the letter “C” and then asking him/her to draw the letter “C” the same way Peer intervention where a peer models for the child or provides some kind of physical assistance
