PWA Try this
|
Hold your whiteboard vertically and draw a horizontal line to divide it in half (you can substitute your whiteboard with paper for this task if you wish, but you will need to use a new sheet every time). Shade the top half with one color and the bottom half with a different color. Place it face down on the table.
Sit next to {LEARNER_FNAME} at the table. Position a piece of paper to mimic the whiteboard, and draw the same horizontal line through the middle, to divide it in half. Don’t add any color to the paper and keep it face up.
Show {LEARNER_FNAME} the shaded board for a couple of seconds. Then flip it over again so the colors are hidden.
Place one of the markers you used to shade the whiteboard on one half of the paper, to represent the color on the board. Ask {LEARNER_FNAME} if the color is in the right spot. Was it on the top? Or on the bottom?
Erase the board, and play again. You can either use different colors or the same colors in different positions. If {LEARNER_FNAME} does well with the board divided in half, try dividing it into three or four parts. Start by coloring in only one of them. For even more of a challenge, color in two or more spaces. |

PWA What to look
|
Play at least three times to ensure {LEARNER_FNAME} understands how the game works. As you increase the number of sections on the board and the number of colors you use, keep track of which combinations {SUBJ_PRONOUN} remembers successfully. For example, this could be one color in one, two or more sections; two colors in four sections, and so on. |
PWA Why this matters
|
Language sometimes clouds the way young children engage in an activity. By focusing almost entirely on visual input in this task — the colors and the placement of the marker — {LEARNER_FNAME} gets to practice and improve {POS_PRONOUN} working memory regardless of how developed {POS_PRONOUN} language is.
