Teacher tip

This one is mostly for home. Send it with a note, and practice the motions at school on a big model or a stuffed animal with a clean brush.

How to use it

  • Practice in the real place, with the real things, whenever you can.
  • Break the skill into small steps and teach one step at a time.
  • Give help quietly and fade it fast: point before you speak, and speak before you move a hand.

Watch for

Doing the steps for the student to save time. Leave time for them to try.

Talk about it

  • What do you do first?
  • What comes next?
