Simple
Substitution Technique for Developing Fluency and Grammar Awareness
This drill requires the insertion of a new cue word in the sentence. These words do not alter the syntax of the sentence in any way.
The AT completes two choral responses
(CR)
SS:
1. Apprentice Teacher (AT) says the Original Sentence (OS):
I don't want to eat anymore.
2. AT cues him/herself with the
new word (cue):
"to sleep" then Snaps-Points to self
3. AT gives the new sentence that
incorporates the new word (cue):
I don't want to sleep anymore.
4. AT then repeats the OS twice
with CR:
I don't want to eat anymore. (CR)
I don't want to eat anymore. (CR)
5. Then AT cues new word(s) and
gestures with S-P-L for individual response:
"to sleep"
AT gives reinforcement, and, with S-P-L, elicits one more individual response
for a total of 2 individual responses per substitution item.
6. AT cues 3 more words (in the
workshop); elicits two individual responses per substitution item. When introducing
a new substitution item, remember first to give reinforcement, cue the word,
then S-P-L. Do not repeat the cue the second time!
to think, to dream, to work
7. AT finally cues original word(s)
from OS with two individual responses:
"to eat"
8. AT ends with two Choral Responses from the original BB.
