Guided practice

(If your student(s) have some usable hearing, in all guided practice activities, encourage them to notice how the words/sentences look when lipreading and how they sound. If appropriate, present lipreading and auditory discrimination activities using the words and sentences from the unit.)

Ask: What did you find?

Elicit response: A red ball.

Reinforce response: Yes, you found a red ball!

Write on chart: (child’s name) found a red ball.

Read, sign/say the sentence and then ask the children to read it.

Encourage accurate signing and speech.
