This workbook contains 40 exercises. Each page highlights a single English word (e.g. light ) and uses it in four separate, contextualized sentences (e.g. 1) Turn on a light ! The room is too dark! ... ark!  2) The kitten is light. The puppy is heavy. 3) I ate a lot for breakfast. I will eat a light lunch. 4) Grandpa will light his pipe.) The student reads each sentence. If translating to ASL, the student decides which ASL handshape was used to make the sign for the target word in each sentence. The student cuts out the related ASL Handshape from a copied page with all handshapes and pastes it in the correct box.  As each sentence uses a multiple meaning for the word the handshapes used will be different-visually signifying the difference in meaning despite the same English word. Finally the student illustrates the sentence meaning. Vocabulary and sentences are kept simple to ensure  cognitive energy is focused of the meaning of the word in context.  The Bedrock Literacy Curriculum manual is available at https://successforkidswithhearingloss.com/product/bedrock-literacy-curriculum/)

What are “endonyms”This is a story to help children/students who wear hearing aids understand why they may go to the doctor and/or ENT more often than others. The story can be read for comprehension. It teaches new vocabulary and creates a wonderful language opportunity for students to better advocate for themselves at school, home, and the doctor/ENT office. This story was written with younger children and their families and older students who continue to come to school with blocked hearing aids and do not use an interpreter for language access.Service Activity for EI-ECSE Families & Home VisitsFor any family, this story can be an important conversation starter, or reminder, to understand the language impact of even partially clogged hearing aids for their kid(s) who are not using signs.

This workbook, though beyond the beginning level, provides a clear format for considering how figurative language "works" without high level vocabulary and difficult syntax. Using simple vocabulary ... abulary and comprehensible context, each page has a single word that is used figuratively in two very short paragraphs (e.g. LIGHT- 1) eat a light lunch, 2) to feel light headed). Students read the paragraph, discuss the intent, provide evidence from details in the paragraph that lead to their definition of the highlighted phrase. They then illustrate the paragraph.  The Bedrock Literacy Curriculum manual is available at https://successforkidswithhearingloss.com/product/bedrock-literacy-curriculum/)

THE SKELETAL SYSTEM -- DOMAIN SPECIFIC SCIENCE VOCABULARY!Want a clever way to increase students' science vocabulary? Use this worksheet as Halloween approaches or at any time during the school year f ... or a warm-up to the school day or in-between activities. In my many years of working as an educational interpreter, I noticed that it was not unusual for deaf and hard-of-hearing students who were behind their peers struggle with answering questions that began with: "What's your favorite . . .?" Often, they would answer "yes" or not be sure how to answer. The beauty of this type of worksheet is that there is no wrong answer, it is short-yet-effective, and it exposes students to a variety of categories and vocabulary within a specific domain. If time allows, it can open up a discussion on the topic. Gradually, this type of practice worksheet will help students learn how to answer this common question that seems easy on the surface, but not for those that may not have the background knowledge and vocabulary necessary to answer it.The thumbnail for this “What’s Your Favorite?” series will have a violet purple background - violet for vocabulary! Looking for fast and easy vocabulary building worksheets? Look for the violet thumbnails! Like the "What's Your Favorite...?" worksheet series?
