Communication breakdowns are a common problem, especially for students who are deaf/hard of hearing. And many times, students will often ask "what?" or "huh?" when they don't hear something. Unfortunately, asking "what?" or "huh?" doesn't fix the communication breakdown and often leaves the speaker and the listener frustrated.

These 50 digital task cards on the BOOM Learning website follow a lesson format and teach the following areas:

• What are communication breakdowns?
• What causes communication breakdowns?
• How do you recognize a breakdown has happened?
• 3-step directions for repairing breakdowns
• A variety of specific repair strategies
• Practice scenarios
• And more!

Throughout the deck, students will come to 8 checkpoint cards to test their understanding. Boom Cards are self-checking and you can track student progress. These are great for one-on-one work with students, in a small group setting, or as independent practice.

These digital task cards would be great on a laptop, desktop, Chromebook, tablet, or any other mobile device that can access the internet. They can even be used on your Smart Board.  Plus, they’re no prep which means no printing, laminating or storage.

This product includes:

· A link to access 50 Digital Task Cards on communication breakdowns and repair strategies on

 the BOOM Learning℠ website

· Teacher Notes on how to use these BOOM Cards™ in your classroom

Take a look at the thumbnail images and the preview file above to better understand what the digital task cards look like.
