Speech
and Language – Differentiated Skills Based Curriculum
Differentiated instruction is defined as the teaching methods that focus on a variety
of techniques to meet student learning needs by varying the content, process or
products of learning. These teaching methods are based on the learner’s
readiness and interests.
Scaffolding is a teaching style that matches the amount of
necessary assistance to the learners needs, giving help but not more than is
needed. Allowing children to take on more of a task as they master its
different elements, will help children learn more effectively.
Creating a Language Rich Classroom Using Scaffolding:
Tongue Twisters and Speech
Tongue twisters are phrases or
sentences which are hard to speak fast, usually because of alliteration or a
sequence of words with very similar sounds. Tongue twisters help develop speech
skills in young children as well as older children who need additional help
with speech therapy. Selecting tongue twisters that feature phonemes that are
particularly difficult for a student will provide a fun way to learn.

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Betty Botter's Better
Batter
Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
If I bake this bitter butter,
It would make my batter bitter
But a bit of better butter,
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of better butter
Better than her bitter butter
And she baked it in her batter;
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.
Just for fun, check out this tongue twister and how
much fun
these students are having!

That was such a neat video link. I will need to work on open ended questions I suppose that will be another one to try with Jaylynn at home. It was neat to see how well the children responded.
ReplyDeleteAlso I tried the tongue twisters I am not very good at them but had a giggle at myself as I kept trying and stumbling, I'm sure kids really enjoy this.
