Core Word Approach – Books
Purpose:
Core words are the powerful, flexible words we use every day for most of our communication. These are words like I, that, don’t, he, she, it, get, put, again, ready, what, go, more, and, no. Individuals who are learning to use their AAC systems (“talkers”) need lots of practice with core words. Most of these words can be used in many ways—that’s what makes them core! A core word approach gives the AAC learner focused practice the most important, common and powerful words that will help them communicate effectively in many different situations.
SD71’s collection of core word books was created in Book Creator, to provide our students with opportunities to experience core words. The messages chosen to illustrate the meanings of core words are taken from common everyday experiences. The majority of the books are produced for the LAMP ACC app.
They can be downloaded as a PDF, viewed online or downloaded as an ePub and read using the iPad Book Creator app.
Comprehension Literacy for All Book Collection
The Comprehensive Literacy for All Book Collection is an amazing resource provided by the Special Ed Tech Center (Barb Lark) that provides strategies, tools, resources, and links to the books themselves in an easy to search format. These can be used in conjunction with the Core Word Books to help reinforce the use of the word in different applications.
